                                          • Coat a roasting pan/square head pan (20⅞” x 17³⁄8” x 7”) with pan release spray. Sauté onions and garlic for 2 minutes.
                                          • Add half of the stock and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reserve remaining vegetable stock for step 4.
                                          • Add carrots, red peppers, and ground chipotle pepper (optional). Simmer uncovered over low-medium heat for 10 minutes.
                                          • Add remaining stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir occasionally. Continue to simmer over low heat, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
                                          • Steam sweet potatoes until soft (about 10-15 minutes) in a perforated steam table pan (12” x 20” x 2½”).
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                            For 100 servings, use 4 pans.
                                          • Add beans, corn, and sweet potatoes to vegetable mixture. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 10 minutes.
                                            Critical Control Point: Heat to 135 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
                                          • Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear, not cloudy.
                                          • Combine quinoa and water in a covered stockpot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until water is completely absorbed, about 15 minutes. When done, quinoa will be soft and a white ring will pop out of the kernel. The white ring will only appear when it is fully cooked.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
                                          • Portion 8 fl oz ladle (1 cup) chili. Serve with No. 16 scoop (¼ cup) cooked quinoa.
                                          • If desired, serve chili with ¼ cup brown rice in place of quinoa.

                                          Special tip for preparing dry beans:
                                          SOAKING BEANS
                                          OVERNIGHT METHOD: Add 1¾ qt cold water to every 1 lb of dry beans. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
                                          QUICK-SOAK METHOD: Boil 1¾ qt of water for each 1 lb of dry beans. Add beans and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to soak for 1 hour. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
                                          COOKING BEANS
                                          Once the beans have been soaked, add 1¾ qt water for every lb of dry beans. Boil gently with lid tilted until tender, about 2 hours.
                                          Use hot beans immediately.
                                          Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
