Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper seeds removed, diced
  • 2 carrots finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 28-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15.5-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15.5-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Shredded cheddar cheese sour cream, and fresh cilantro for serving

Instructions

  • In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and carrots. Sauté these vegetables, stirring frequently, until they become tender, roughly 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and finely chopped jalapeño, cooking until their aroma becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Incorporate the tomato paste, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Add the black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans, followed by the fire-roasted tomatoes, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, allowing the chili to simmer. Stir occasionally, letting the flavors blend and the mixture thicken for around 30 minutes.
  • Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
