VEGETARIAN CHILI w/ a charred cheddar + scallion quesadilla🌶😍✨ RECIPE BELOW👇 feel free to add diced carrots as well - I preferred the bean combo! Also, don’t knock the cacao powder- it brings a rich depth of flavor to the tomatoes which is extremely important especially when there’s no hearty meat involved. 🍅

Instructions

Step 1

1. Heat a pot (stovetop or pressure cooker) over medium heat. Season with ~1 tbsp of oil of your choice. Add the bell pepper, tomatillo and onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 min.

Step 2

2. Add the spice blend and mix together. Add the garlic. Cook another 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3

3. Adjust the heat to medium high. Add tomato paste and vegetable bouillon paste. Toss it into the vegetables and let it toast for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

4. Reduce the heat to low. Pour the vegetable broth and crushed tomatoes into the pot and stir to release any golden brown bits off of the pan.

Step 5

5. In a small bowl, mix together the instant masa and water until there are no clumps. Pour it into the chili and quickly mix it together. Add cacao powder and mix again until combined. Finally add the beans and dried lentils. Stir together.

Step 6

6. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes uncovered once the pressure is released to allow steam to escape. Or, simmer in a pot uncovered for an hour. Enjoy with a quesadilla and any toppings you like!
