3 BEAN VEGETARIAN CHILI

• In a large skillet warm a small amount of olive oil. Add in onion through garlic and cook until crisp tender. Transfer vegetables to a crock pot.
• Add in vegetable stock through sugar. Season with salt and pepper, stir, cover and cook for 4 to 6 hours.
• About 30 minutes before serving time preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of corn tortillas with olive oil, stack and cut into 6 wedges. Scatter in a single layer on a couple of large cookie sheets. Place in preheated oven and bake, stirring one or twice, until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
• In a medium size bowl combine the salsa ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with a small amount of lemon juice. Please note that the lemon juice will help to keep the avocado from oxidizing.
• When ready to serve, place several baked tortilla chips around the rim of a shallow bowl, spoon in chili, sprinkle on grated cheese and top with a generous serving of avocado salsa. Enjoy.
