  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup canned corn
  • 4 ounces can green chilies, chopped
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced

  2. Stir in parmesan cheese and season with salt.

  4. In the meantime, combine chili, beans, corn, green chilies, and garlic in a separate pot.
  5. Cook over medium-high heat until warmed through, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. When polenta is set cut it into 12 squares (depending on size of your baking dish).
  7. Brush with olive oil and grill over medium-high heat until crisp and lightly charred, 5 minutes per side.
  8. Spoon over hot chili and serve.
