Here is a recipe that I got from Chili's. I had e-mailed the company on their website and this is the recipe that they sent to me

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup carrots, diced
1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced

2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
2 teaspoons chili powder
