- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional, to balance acidity)

Equipment
- Large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Wooden spoon or silicone spatula

- Ladle (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in the large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic, bell peppers, carrots, and jalapeño (if using). Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook the spices with the vegetables for about 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.
- Add the tomato paste and stir well to coat the vegetables and spices. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the tomato paste to caramelize slightly.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir everything together, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pot.
- Add all the drained beans to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and maple syrup (if using). Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Remove from heat and let the chili rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a squeeze of lime.
Tips & Variations
“For an extra smoky flavor, add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce or a dash of liquid smoke.”
- Beans: Feel free to swap out beans for chickpeas, navy beans, or any canned beans you prefer.
- Spice level: Adjust the amount of jalapeño or add cayenne pepper to increase heat.
- Veggies: Add corn, zucchini, or mushrooms to bulk up the chili and add different textures.
- Make it in a slow cooker: After sautéing the vegetables and spices, transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
- Thicken your chili: For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans with a spoon during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
