Finally had all the ingredients at once to make this! A delicious and much lighter chili than the one I usually make with red and black beans. For less sodium, I cooked my own beans and omitted the tomato juice. I put a couple tablespoons of freshly chopped coriander (cilantro) for flavour. Great! - 2/3/11
