Ingredients
Method
1.Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat; cook onion, celery and capsicums, stirring, for 6 minutes or until softened. Add chilli, garlic, paprika, coriander, cumin and oregano; cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.
2.Add stock, tomatoes and beans to pan; bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes or until thickened. Add chocolate; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until mixture is dark and glossy. Season to taste.
3.Serve half the chilli bean mixture with cheddar, corn chips and lime wedges (see > serve it). Transfer remaining chilli bean mixture to an airtight container; cool, then store (see > store it).
This quantity of grated cheddar is enough for the served chilli beans. Use the same amount again when serving the stored portion.
Serve with chunky guacamole, sprinkled with smoky tortilla crunch, if you like.
Refrigerate chilli bean mixture for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge, then reheat in a microwave.
