Ingredients

    Directions

    Step 1

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.

    Step 2

    Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Step 4

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow longer simmering for richer flavors, if desired.

    Step 5

    Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings such as diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness.
