RED, GOLD, BLACK, AND GREEN CHILI image

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ C bulghur
½ C hot water
3 C undrained canned tomatoes (28-oz can)
3 TBSP olive oil
3 C chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
¼ tsp cayenne
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 C fresh or frozen cut corn
1.5 C drained cooked black beans (14 oz can)
1.5 C drained kidney beans (14 oz can)
salt to taste
grated cheddar or Jack cheese

Steps:

Place the bulghur, hot water, and about a cup of the juice from the canned tomatoes in a small saucepan, cover and bring to a boil on high heat, then lower the heat and simmer gently. While the bulghur cooks, heat the olive oil in a lg saucepan. Sauté the onions, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne. When the onions are soft, stir in the bell peppers and sauté for 2 or 3min more. Chop the tomatoes right in the can and add them to the pan. Stir in the corn and beans, and heat thoroughly on low heat. Taste the bulghur. When it is cooked but still chewy, add it to the pan with its liquid. Cover and simmer for a few mins for the flavors to meld. Add salt to taste. Serve with grated cheese.
