Black Bean Chili

A spicy and hearty chili - and you won't miss the meat. This recipe uses the slow simmered black beans, and turns them into chili by the addition of more onion, more garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro. I used only one of the two chipotle peppers in adobo, and I seeded it carefully. Despite this, and the addition of an extra 2C of black beans, this is almost too spicy for me. But I am a bit of a spice wimp. Regardless of the heat, the flavor is excellent, and not masked by the heat.
