All natural. Just add meat. No preservatives. Our Black Bean Chili Starter is reminiscent of the first chilis that simmered in pots along both sides of the Rio Grande - with a dose of smoked chipotle chiles added to the mix. Just add meat (or your favorite vegetables), simmer and serve. From the kitchen of chef Rick Bayless.
