Ingredients

6 servings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, 1 red and 1 green, diced
  • 4 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 can black beans, 15 oz each, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes, 28 oz
  • 1½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 avocado, sliced, for serving
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until soft.
  2. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano and stir for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the black beans, crushed tomatoes, broth and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring now and then.
  4. Stir in the corn and simmer for 5 minutes more. Mash about a cup of the beans against the side of the pot for a thicker chili.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve topped with avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
