Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened (about 5 minutes).

02

Step

Mash 1/2 of the black beans in a small bowl. Transfer the mashed beans to the Dutch oven, along with the remaining whole black beans. Add diced tomatoes, 2 cups water, corn, lentils, quinoa, chili powder, brown sugar, paprika, salt, turmeric, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

03

Step

Whisk 3 tablespoons water and cornstarch together until completely dissolved, adding more water if necessary. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the chili and simmer until thickened (about 15 minutes). Mash the chili with a potato masher until it reaches your desired consistency.

For a richer flavor, consider using fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
Adjust the amount of chili powder and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of vegan sour cream (if desired).
