1 poblano chile, seeded and chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

Coarse salt

1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles

Directions
-
In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, poblano, and garlic; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in green chiles, chili powder, and cumin and cook 3 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes and juice, and 2 cups water; bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender and chili is thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
Cook's Note
The great thing about serving this vegetarian chili over rice is that you get a complete protein.
Suggested toppings: sour cream, fresh cilantro leaves, lime wedges, grated Monterrey Jack, chopped red onion.
This is a really delicious, simple recipe. It is so versatile really; you could substitute for different beans, or even try diced jalapeno peppers. I love it with lots of lime and sour cream! :)
