  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately six

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1 packet chili seasoning
  • 2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes (14.5 oz each)
  • 1 can black beans (15 or 16 oz)
  • 1 can kidney beans (15 or 16 oz)
  • 1 can pinto beans (15 or 16 oz)
  • 1 can corn (15 or 16 oz)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and slightly translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chili seasoning and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Add all canned ingredients directly to the pot without draining them. Stir well to combine, cover, and let simmer for approximately 15 minutes to meld flavors.
  3. For a creamier texture, ladle out one cup of chili into a blender, blend until smooth, then stir back into the pot.
  4. Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, avocado slices, or crushed corn chips.
