Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
3 (14-ounce) cans diced tomatoes (undrained)
2 cups vegetable broth
2 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (10-ounce) package frozen corn
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
To Serve: sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onion, cilantro, limes

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
In a heavy skillet, saute the onions in the olive oil until tender, stirring frequently, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes longer. Add the cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for two minutes longer to bloom the spices.
Combine the onion mixture with the bell peppers, tomatoes, broth, corn, black beans, and Picante or taco sauce into a 4 to 5-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low about 10 hours or until the vegetables are tender. You can thicken this chili if you'd like using a mixture of about 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/3 cup water. Add to the slow cooker, cover, and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until thickened. If you have a newer, hotter cooking crock pot , cook the whole recipe on low for 6 to 7 hours.
Serve with optional garnishes of your choice, along with tortilla chips for dipping, if desired.
