  • 15.5 ounces kidney beans, drained 1 can
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chili seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Garnish with shredded cheese chopped cilantro, diced green onions and sour cream

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add diced onions, peppers and chicken, salt and pepper, and cook until chicken is cooked through and peppers and onions are softened.
  • Next, add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and kidney beans then stir in fajita and chili seasonings.
  • Lower the heat to medium low and slowly cook occasionally stirring chili until everything thickens (about 10-15 minutes). Salt and pepper to taste. Cool for 10 minutes to allow everything to further thicken and allow flavors to deepen.

Notes

Once the chili has cooled down, transfer it into an airtight container and pop it in the fridge; it’ll stay fresh and tasty for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to reheat, simply scoop out your desired portion and reheat it in a pot over medium heat until it’s hot and bubbly, or give it a whirl in the microwave, checking and stirring every minute to ensure even heating.
