Cooking Steps
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.
Halve, peel, and dice onion into ½-inch pieces. Core, deseed, and dice green pepper into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 4-6 minutes.
Add tomato paste, Mexican Spice Blend, and 1 tsp salt (2 tsp for 4). Season generously with pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Stir crushed tomatoes, stock concentrates, beans and their liquid, and ½ cup water (¾ cup for 4) into pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until thickened, 15-18 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fluff rice with a fork.
Serve rice, chili, tortilla chips, cheddar, sour cream, and scallions family style and let everyone build their own bowl. (Don't forget to serve with any extra items you may have ordered to build out your meal!)

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Some loved the chili's taste, while others found it too tomato-heavy or bland. Consider adjusting spices to preference.
- Suggestions: Try adding more beans, corn, or plant-based meat for heartiness. Reduce tomatoes if you prefer less acidity.
- Portions: Makes more than one meal for two people; adding extra kidney beans stretches it further.
- Serving: Some enjoyed the rice, while others preferred the chili without it. Experiment to find your ideal combo.
Reviews from our home cooks
More than 1 meal for 2 people for sure. We added more kidney beans and loved it!
It was a little tomato heavy in flavor. Could have used more beans, less tomato
Made black bean soup first and added left overs to the chili!
Chili was very good. The bag of chips were crushed and ripped open and the green pepper was also smashed.
All together it's kinda much, especially with the rice, I honestly think it would go without it.
Slightly bland chili. Could have used more spice or heartiness
Could use more beans - three types would be better
