Homemade Vegan Chili

Ok, here is that recipe for the homemade vegan chili!

• 1 tbsp oil
• 1-3 cloves garlic, minced (I just used crushed from a jar) 
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 3 tbsp chili powder
• pinch sea salt
• pinch cayenne (I didn't have any so I just omitted it) 
• 1 can each: black beans, white kidney beans, red kidney beans 
• 2 can diced tomatoes with juice
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 
• Secret Ingredient –> 2 tbsp black CHIA SEEDS 
• Garnish with green onions
• We also put avocado in it, and had tortilla chips with it. 

Directions: In a large pot, add the oil and heat over medium. Add garlic, peppers, onion, carrot and sauté until everything is soft, approximately 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, cover, and cook for about 30-40 minutes on low to medium heat.

You can always play around with the spices and/or add more peppers or even some hot peppers! I loved the chia seed in it! Enjoy!!
