Chocolate and cinnamon are traditionally used in Mexican dishes for rich flavor and color. Don't leave them out - you can't taste the chocolate but it adds fabulous flavor.
Microwave Chili
1 Tbsp. oil 1 chopped onion 2 minced garlic cloves 1 pound lean ground beef 2 14-oz. cans diced tomatoes with onions and garlic 1 6-oz. can tomato paste 1 4-oz. can diced green chilies 2 16-oz. cans black beans, drained and rinsed 1 Tbsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. cumin 1/2 tsp. cinnamon half of a 1-oz. square unsweetened chocolate
Combine oil, onion and garlic in 3 quart microwave safe glass casserole dish. Microwave on high for 4 minutes, stirring once during cooking. Add beef to casserole and cook on high for 4 minutes, stirring once during cooking to break up meat. Cook 3 minutes longer, then drain off any fat or liquid. Add all remaining ingredients. Mix well to combine. Microwave, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir well. Cook 10-15 minutes longer until thickened and bubbly, stirring once during cooking. Serves 4.
