In this vegetarian chili, firm tofu stands in for hamburger and is much lower in fat and cholesterol. Tofu also nicely picks up the chili flavors.
Ingredients
(Serves 4)- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped (approximately 1/2 cup)
- 12 ounces extra-firm tofu, cut into small pieces
- 2 cans (14 ounces each) diced tomatoes with no added salt

- 1 can (14 ounces) black beans with no salt added, rinsed and drained
- 3 tablespoons chili powder

Directions
In a soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the tofu, tomatoes, beans, chili powder and oregano. Bring to a boil.
