This is a quick and tasty recipe for a warming chili. I have cooked this on a Thursday evening, after a busy day at work. Put everything to simmer, then gone to do my laundry duties. Served with brown rice and a generous squeeze of fresh lime. You can combine with any leftover vegetables, I just happened to have none in the fridge. —juwu_eats
