Ingredients

  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes undrained
  • 2 15 oz. can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 15 oz. can cannellini beans or great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 to 2 chipotle in adobo
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instructions

Stove Top

  • Sauté the onion in water over medium heat, cover, and cook until softened. Add garlic and bell pepper and cook for another minute.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients plus 1 cup of water and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Instant Pot

  • Sauté the onion, pepper, and garlic using the sauté function. Add remaining ingredients, turn off sauté function, seal lid, and cook on high pressure for 14 minutes and let the pressure release naturally. If you find it too soupy cook off some of it using the sauté function and only add 1/2 cup of water next time.
