In honor of my love for Chipotle, I created this super easy and oil free black bean chili. I like Chipotle! You like Chipotle! WE ALL LIKE CHIPOTLE!!! Right? Well, I haven’t met anyone yet who’s actually tried Chipotle and didn’t like yet. I remember my very first burrito bowl years ago. Not only was it a party in my mouth, combining my all time favorite food which is rice, but the combination of flavors and textures makes it the ultimate meal in terms of satisfaction.
Chipotle’s burrito bowls features black bleans instead of black bean chili. Since a good bowl of chili is so versatile, I decided that an easy black bean chili would be the perfect and versatile accompaniment to one of my favorite meals. The great thing about this recipe is that it’s super quick with the use of canned black beans. I recommend a good quality can of organic black beans along with some stewed tomatoes. Add an easy homemade taco seasoning and one other secret ingredient and you can have food on the table in twenty minutes.
What’s the secret ingredient, you ask? Fresh Dill!!!! Yes, that’s right. A tablespood of fresh dill adds the perfect surprising flavor to this black bean chili. One of my favorite chili recipes by Paula Deen used a packet of taco seasoning and a packet or ranch seasoning and to Paula’s credit, the recipe is superb. As a vegan, it’s so much fun playing with ingredients and veganizing other recipes so it was very simple to incorporate dill, which is a main component in ranch dressing. If you didn’t know that, you learned something today! So just like ranch dressing doesn’t taste like a pickle, neither does this chili. The dill truly rounds out the flavors giving this chili an excellent, cooked low and slow type of flavors in less than 30 minutes.
My easy black bean chili is perfect on cantina bowls. I also love stuffing burritos, tacos and baked potatoes with it. If you’re looking for a great chili recipe, look no further, because this is it!
