For an even richer flavor, consider using fire-roasted diced tomatoes. If you prefer a thicker chili, mash about half a cup of the black beans before adding them to the pot. Leftovers taste even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of guacamole.
