I wanted to make something ETL, and appealing to my family at the same time, so I went with chili with 3 different beans!
For a topping, I made guacamole and pico de gallo. On the side some baked corn chips!
Wanna see how to make this for your family?
Lets get rolling!
Super Chunky Guacamole

2 large avocado's, scooped out and mashed
1/2 lime, juiced
2 jalapeno's, minced (I used canned, the store was out of fresh)
5 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Mash your avocado with a fork in a bowl, pour your lime juice over and mix well. Place remaining ingredients in and toss to combine. Let chill until ready to serve.
Pico De Gallo

6 Roma tomatoes, diced
3/4 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tbls. Minced garlic
2 tbls. cilantro
1/2 can or 2 jalapeno's, minced

Mix everything and place in fridge until ready to use. Try not to use before 2 hours, the flavors meld better.

Ok, I really just made this next recipe on the fly. I will give you the basics to the best of my abilities.

Vivacious Vegans 3 bean chili

2 large onions, chopped

1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 lb. button mushrooms, cut each into 4ths

1 large can pinto beans, drained and rinsed several times

2 cans no salt black beans, do not drain

2 cans Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained several times

2 cans diced tomatoes, no salt added

1 can no salt tomato sauce

2 cups water

4 tbls. no salt chili powder

1 tsp. Chipotle pepper powder

1 tbls. minced garlic

1 tsp. garlic powder

Water saute the onions, peppers and mushrooms until tender, add the chili powder, garlic powder and chipotle powder. Add beans and tomatoes. Cook until all flavors are melded together, about 30-45 minutes over low heat. Top with 1 full tsp. of guacamole and 2 tbls. of

pico de gallo and a lime wedge! You can serve with chips if you wish.

I cut 6 into triangles and baked them in a low oven until crispy, then turned off the oven and let them just rest there, until I needed them. I highly recommend a fresh corn tortilla that only uses corn.

They are fantastic! I think I ate 4 chips total and I was really happy.

The finished dish with garnish.

The food spread minus the chili, it was on the stove.

And of course my tea...I swear it is attached to my hand at all times. This time it was green jasmine!

YUM!!!

What did you do for the Super Bowl?

What food did you make today?

I am hoping your day was good and you spent the day doing something that makes you really happy!

XOXO,

VIV~
