Serves 6-8

3 Tbsp. Henry's Olive Oil
1 small onion, diced
1/2 small zucchini, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 12 oz. pkg. vegetarian burger crumbles
2-3 c. water or broth (vegetable or faux beef)
1 15 oz. can Mexican-style diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 Tbsp. ground cumin
2-3 Tbsp. chili powder
3-4 canned Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce, chopped
1 15 oz. can vegetarian Chili beans in sauce (can substitute equal parts pinto and kidney beans + extra chili powder and 2 Tbsp. tomato sauce)
1/2 c. Henry's Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 c. Henry's Garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 c. Henry's frozen corn (defrosted)
1/4 c. sliced black olives

Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in large dutch oven or deep skillet. Fry onion until slightly soft and browned. Add minced garlic and zucchini, saute 1-2 minutes longer.

In a medium skillet, fry burger crumbles in remaining 1 Tbsp. of oil until slightly browned. Set aside.

Add spices, chipotle peppers in adobo, and tomatoes to dutch oven mixture. Stir and saute a couple more minutes, taking care not to let the mixture burn. Add water or broth, stir, and bring to a low boil. If necessary, add more water to achieve desired consistency.

Add beans and corn; stir and cover. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes until heated through and fragrant. Add browned veggie burger crumbles and olives. Simmer 2-3 more minutes, taking care not to heat too long or crumbles will become soggy. Adjust seasonings as desired.

Optional garnish: Serve with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and crushed tortilla chips.
