Three kinds of beans and a rich, dark, smoky tomato-based sauce built on chipotle peppers, bloomed spices, and a small amount of cocoa powder. This is the version of vegan chili that wins cook-offs. The cocoa sounds unusual until you taste what it does — it deepens the existing flavors without adding any sweetness or chocolate flavor, the same way it works in a mole. The chipotle gives smoke. The long simmer gives body. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end lifts everything. Make it the day before if you can.
