How to Make Spicy Vegan Texas Black Bean Chili

  1. Drain and rinse one (15-ounce) can of black beans.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 1 red bell pepper, chopped, and cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  6. Add one (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, one (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 4 cups vegetable broth, and the drained black beans to the pot.
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat, salt for saltiness, or a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as vegan sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or tortilla chips. Enjoy!
