Detox Chili

This delicious "Chili" recipe was created while I was going through an elimination diet last year.  I love chili but during the elimination diet you have to cut out a lot of possible food allergens such as beef, night shade vegetables(tomatoes), and a few other normal chili ingredients.  Well that didn't stop me from getting my chili fix! So with out further adieu here it is...

2TBSP Coconut oil
1 Red onion(diced)
1 Green bell pepper(diced)
1 Yellow bell pepper(diced)
2 Celery stalks(diced)
4 Cloves garlic(minced)
1TBSP Red pepper flakes
4(15oz) canned black beans(rinsed and drained)
4c Vegetable broth
1 Avocado(mashed)
1c Quinoa(cooked)
*1pack Chicken(diced & cooked)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Heat up your chili pot to medium and melt your coconut oil.  After dicing all your veggies throw them in your pot and sauté. While that is cooking you can make your quinoa in a separate pot, you will add this in at the end.  Also your chicken can be cooked during the sautéing process, or you can leave out the chicken to make it a vegetarian/vegan dish.  Once your veggies have been sautéing for at least 5-10 mins you can add in your 2 cups vegetable broth and 2 cans of black beans.  The other 2 cups of broth and cans of beans you will blend together in your food processor or blender.  Once they have been blended add them to the pot along with your red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste.  Once everything is well combined(10-15 mins) go ahead and add in your cooked quinoa and mashed avocado.  The last two ingredients give the chili the thicker consistency, so you may add less or more depending on your preference.
