Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for one minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetable broth to the pot.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the chili cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to blend deeply.
  6. Stir in the cayenne pepper, if using. Season with salt and black pepper to your preference.
  7. Serve hot. Enjoy this comforting meal!

Notes

  • For an extra smoky flavor, you can add a dash of liquid smoke along with the spices.
  • If you prefer a thicker chili, remove the lid for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • Tariq suggests tasting and adjusting the spices before serving; your palate knows best.
