Drain and rinse black beans. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Saute chopped vegetables for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add tomatoes, water, and beans. Stir in spices. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add corn and garlic, and simmer 2 to 3 more minutes. Serve 1 cup topped with 1/4 of a diced avocado and/or 1 tablespoon unsweetened yogurt.

Add more vegetables by serving chili over a bed of organic salad greens or with a side of steamed broccoli, green beans, or other non-starchy vegetables.
