LOW FAT BASIC VEGETARIAN CHILI
This is sort of a "starter" -- good as is, but you can add corn, black beans, onions, sour cream, cheese -- whatever you like to personalize it. You can use salsa in place of the tomato sauce too.

SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS LOW FAT VEGETARIAN CHILI
This is a quick and simple, no-fuss chili. I am a huge fan of spicy foods, but I chose to make this chili a bit more mild to suit the tastes of my family. Please feel free to adjust the "heat" with cayenne, or even fresh diced jalapeno to suit your taste. This chili can be topped with sour cream, shredded cheddar, or your favorite hot sauce. The leftovers make great meatless burrito wraps.
