Vegetarian Chili- Low fat and Cal.

Vegetarian Chili- Low fat and Cal.
I adjusted this recipe from a Biggest Loser recipe I had, I like this version alot better.
3 cups chopped yellow onion
1/2 green pepper diced.
1 (28 oz) can diced petite tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup fat-free low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
In a saucepan put a dash of olive oil cooking spray and add the onions and green pepper and cook over medium-high heat until they're soft and just starting to brown. Add the tomatoes, pinto and black beans, broth, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and mustard powder. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Garnish with the olives, green onions, and cilantro.I also like to put a little dab of greek style plain yogurt and even just a tiny bit of cheese. I also make the baked corn chips and serve with it.This has only 86 calories for a 1 cup portion of just chili (no toppings)
