EASY BLACK BEAN CHILI

We love chili for its rib-sticking deliciousness, and this meatless version is no exception. Just because it's made with beans, and no meat, doesn't mean it's not filling. Cumin, chili powder and chiles add heat, while fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and sweet corn give it extra flavor.
