This single serving vegetarian chili is a hearty, flavorful dish made with beans, vegetables, and spices. Quick to prepare in one skillet, it’s a satisfying and customizable meal perfect for one.
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and red bell peppers, cooking for 2 minutes while stirring. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, cumin, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 more minute.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and kidney beans to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Spoon the chili into a bowl and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced avocado as desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Rinse the Beans: Rinse canned beans to reduce excess sodium.
Season Generously: The spices bring the chili to life, so don’t hold back.
Thicken the Chili: Mash some beans before adding them for a heartier texture.
