This is a snap to pull together with simple pantry ingredients. Use it to fill tortillas and bake as a casserole (see Chili Enchiladas) or just serve from the pot with wedges of baked tortilla.

In the Corn and Black Bean Chili recipe, you don’t indicate what size the can of tomatoes, tomato sauce and black beans should be. They all come in different sizes….what is the one you need for this recipe?
Thanks!
