Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp Oil olive, avocado, vegetable
  • 1 Yellow onion chopped
  • 1 1.25 oz packet Chili seasoning
  • 2 15oz cans Diced tomatoes fire roasted will give a more smoky flavor to your chili
  • 1 15oz can UNDRAINED - black beans
  • 1 15oz can UNDRAINED - pinto beans I like Bush's chili pinto beans with mild chili sauce
  • 1 15oz can UNDRAINED - red kidney beans
  • 1 15oz can UNDRAINED - cannellini beans white kidney
  • 1 15oz can UNDRAINED - corn sweet or regular (optional)

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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
