  • 15 oz. low sodium pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • salt to taste
  • 3/4 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1 avocados, sliced

Notes

  • To store. Let your chili come to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • To reheat. Ladle your desired amount into an appropriately sized pot, then heat your chili over medium heat on the stove until it’s warm. Add some extra chicken broth to compensate for lost liquid during the storage process. You can also reheat single servings in a microwave safe bowl until warmed through, stirring halfway through the heating time. Usually this takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • To freeze. Place your chili in a freezer-safe container, leaving enough extra room for the liquid to expand while it freezes. Seal the container and store your chili in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw it out in the fridge overnight before reheating it.
