Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 14 ounces soyrizo (vegan chorizo)
- 3 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup corn kernels (optional, fresh or frozen)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender.
Add the soyrizo to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it browns.
Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid), vegetable broth, and tomato paste.
Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the chili to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
If using corn, stir it in during the final 5 minutes of cooking.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a lime wedge on the side.
