A descendant of McCorkle chili¹.

Ingredients

• olive oil
• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion (1/4-1/2 cup), finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 28oz cans of diced tomatoes
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 can black beans, rinsed
• 1 can kidney (or other) beans, rinsed
• 1 can corn (or other beans), rinsed
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 cup TVP
• 1 to 2 cups water

Directions

1. Warm oil in sauce pan on medium-low heat, add peppers and cook for five minutes.
2. Add onion and cook until it is translucent.
3. Add garlic and saute for a minute or two.
4. Add spices and combine well, but briefly.
5. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, and then simmer, the longer the better.

Serve with a couple handfuls of corn chips and sliced avocado on top.

¹The biggest differences appear to be that McCorkle chili used cream corn and did not include nutritional yeast. There were also no corn chip or avocado toppings.
