Vegetarian Chili (Dinner 9.12.10)

It's been a little chilly out, so I decided to make some chili for dinner, get it? HA! I made my own version of Vegetarian Chili using whatever I had in the house, which happened to only be Pinto beans and Black beans. I had it with some corn tortilla chips & a little cheese. Very filling, but satisfying meal!
Here's the recipe I used:
