How to cook deliciously - One-Pot Vegetarian Chili Mac
1. Stage
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add ¾ onion, celery, and ¾ of the jalapeños. (The rest of the onion and jalapeño are for garnish!) Season with salt and cook until vegetables are mostly tender and onions are translucent and lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Stage
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add minced chili, cumin, and oregano, and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute more. Add ½ the cilantro and water, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add crushed tomatoes along with any liquid in the can.
3. Stage
Add beans, dry pasta, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover, bring up to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let cook with lid ajar for 14 to 16 minutes, until pasta is tender.
4. Stage
Remove from heat and stir in cheeses until melted. Serve with crushed corn chips and the remaining sliced jalapeños and onion for garnish.
