Easy One-Pot Homemade Chili + Frito Pie

I love a good chili with cheese and corn chips!

This meatless chili offers protein and flavor and will keep you satisfied.

What you’ll need:

– 2 Tbsp oil (olive, avocado, vegetable)

– 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

– 1 1.25 oz packet of chili seasoning

– 2 15oz cans of diced tomatoes (fire roasted will give a more smoky flavor to your chili)

– 1 15 oz undrained can black beans 

– 1 15 oz undrained can pinto beans (I like Bush’s chili pinto beans with mild chili sauce)

– 1 15 oz undrained can red kidney beans 

– 1 15 oz undrained can cannellini beans (white kidney)

Optional – 1 15 oz undrained can corn (sweet or regular)

for serving:

– 1 bag Fritos Corn Chips (I use the classic, but you can use scoops or any kind you like!)

– Shredded Mexican Blend cheese for topping

– green onions

– sour cream

Steps:

To begin, heat your oil on stove top in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent (about 4-5 minutes). Add chili seasoning packet and cook 1 more minute.

Dump all cans into pot (including liquids!!) and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. 

For a more soupy chili, carefully blend 1-2 cups of your chili in a food processor or blender (make sure to allow for the blender to vent. Blending hot liquids can cause explosions if unable to vent the air. If using a food processor, leave the feed tube open). Once blended, add the mixture back into the pot of chili and stir until mixed.

Serve in a bowl over a handful of corn chips. Top with Mexican style shredded cheese, green onions to taste and/or sour cream. Enjoy!

Notes

You need the liquids from all of the cans to get a soupy chili. Otherwise, it will be dry, and it will burn!
