Summary
One of the best chilis I've had and yet it is so simple with only 8 ingredients. This cocoa chili has a wonderful deep flavor, without you knowing that it is the actual cocoa. Serve this to your family and they will love it! It is healthy, hearty, filling and nearly fat-free.
Ingredients
- 8 small red potatoes (560 g) chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped white onion (200 g, 1 medium onion)
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped (mine was huge, so use 2 if yours are small)
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt (you may need more if your tomato sauce has no salt)
- 1 cup tomato puree/sauce (mine has salt added)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder (increase to 2 for really spicy)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- Optional: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or 2 teaspoons liquid smoke (for a smoky flavor if desired)
- 3 15 oz cans salt-free black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (135 g, I used frozen)
- Optional toppings: chopped avocado, red pepper flakes, tomatoes
