Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6

• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet chili seasoning mix
• 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
• 28 ounces diced tomatoes
• 10 ounces rotel
• 8 ounces frozen corn
• 15 ounces black beans (for thicker chili, do not drain)
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350.
• 2 place corn on a cookie sheet and sprinkle lightly with olive oil.
• 3 bake until corn starts to brown, about ten minutes.
• 4 in large skillet, over medium-high heat, combine ground turkey (if skipping turkey, use a little olive oil to sautee the following) chopped onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
• 5 cook until turkey no longer appears pink.
• 6 add seasonings, chipotle and combine.
• 7 reduce heat to medium-low and add diced tomatoes, rotel, corn and black beans, stir occasionally.
• 8 cover and simmer for 35-45 minutes.
• 9 serve hot and garnish with fresh cilantro.
• 10 *notes-you can find the chipotle in adobo sauce canned in the mexican food section of your grocer. for a milder chili only use half of a chipotle. this is also great served over rice.
