Instructions
- On medium heat, add oil, onions, green pepper, garlic and jalapeno pepper to a large pot.
- Cook until onions and peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes to the pot.
- I like to break mine up by hand.
- If that's too messy for you, use the back of a cooking spoon.
- Add in the beans, corn, carrots and seasonings.
- Bring pot to a low simmer and cook about 60-90 minutes.
- The longer the better.
- Do not cover the pot as it stops evaporation and thickening of the chili.
- Adjust seasoning by adding more chili to taste.
- If you like it mui caliente, sprinkle a little cayenne or chop up a chipotle pepper.
- Add in zucchini cubes and simmer an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve over rice.
