					Description 
					Another recipe from the April 2005 Cooking Light magazine.  Hearty and high in potassium.  I changed the recipe slightly by adding a bottle of dark amber beer for even more flavor!  Serve with a fresh green salad and lots of home-made tortilla chips to scoop up all the yumminess.

				Directions 
				
				
            			Cook beef in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until lightly browned; stir to crumble.  Drain well and set aside. 
            			
                		
                	
            			
 
            			
                		
                	
            			
Add canola oil to pan and heat over medium-high heat.  Add chopped onion to pan; saute for 4 minutes or until tender.  Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.  Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt; saute for 30 seconds.  Stir in corn and tomatoes; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
            			
                		
                	
            			
 
            			
                		
                	
            			
Stir in the beef, zucchini, water, chipotle chile, and beans; bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until zucchini is tender. 
            			
                		
                	
            			
 
            			
                		
                	
            			
Spoon 1 1/2 cups chili into each of 6 bowls.  Top each serving with sour cream, green onions and cheese.  Yield 6 servings.
