Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time20 mins
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For Serving (Optional):

  • Cilantro
  • Avocado
  • Lime
  • Tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Cook the onion: in a large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, saute the onion 3 - 4 minutes, until translucent. 
  • Add garlic & seasonings: add the garlic, chili powder and cumin to the pot. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring frequently.
  • Cook the chili: add the remaining ingredients to the pot. Bring the pot to a boil and then simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. If you prefer a thinner chili you can add additional vegetable broth (or water). The chili will thicken slightly as it sits.
  • Serve: serve warm, optionally topped with cilantro, avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a side of tortilla chips.
