Chipotle Corn and Two-Bean Chili submitted by Mom Johnson
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.
