Introduction
This is a mild, slightly sweet, thick chili that I use on "walking" tacos to balance out the fact that my kids are eating it on corn chips. If you wanted a thinner chili, just add more broth, water or a beer to it.

Ingredients
-
1Tbsp olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced bell pepper
2 cups diced zucchini
1 can drained corn
1 can tomato paste
1 can Red Gold Tomatoes for chili
1 cup beef or vegetable broth
1 can drained and rinsed kidney beans
2 TBSP honey or agave
1 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
Tips
I serve this to the family on top of baked dorito chips with chopped tomatoes, 2% cheese, and shredded lettuce. It makes a great sub during fair season for the fat loaded "walking tacos."
Directions
Saute onions, pepper, and zucchini in the olive oil until it's tender. (Be careful, the zucchini soaks up the oil so you may need to add a bit of liquid to help keep it from sticking.) Add corn the corn pick up a bit of color from the pan. Then stir in the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes to cook out the raw flavor.
Add the tomatoes, beans, honey and cocoa powder. Stir gently and allow to simmer for at least 15 min to thicken and come together. You could also transfer to a crockpot at this point and simmer on low.
Serving Size: 8ish one cup servings
