Vegetarian Chili

Notes

Use kidney or black beans instead of pinto beans.
Cook your own dry beans. One can (15 ounces) is about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups drained beans.
One large ear of corn makes about 1 cup of cut corn.
Top with chopped cilantro, avocado, plain yogurt or any mix.
Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce if you like a spicy chili.
If you like a thinner chili, add more water at the end of step 5.
