pieces1 small onion, chopped

Directions-
In a large sauté pan, brown chorizo over a medium heat and continue to crumble. When the meat has released its grease, and has begun to brown, drain off accumulated grease. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, jalapenos, and chipotle pepper, sauté 2-3 more minutes. Turn to a low heat and add mushrooms and olives, sauté and additional minute. Add tomatoes, corn, and drained black beans. While chili mixture is heating through, puree the other can of beans (I used an emulsion blender). Add pureed beans to chili and stir to combine.
Now it’s time to taste your chili masterpiece and add the above recommended spices (amounts dependent upon your taste preference). Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and serve with warm tortillas.
