Ingredients

  • ½ large green bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ large red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 2-3 jalapenos, minced (increase jalapenos to make it more spicy)
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 28 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes, such as Muir Glen
  • 3 cups cooked black beans, or 2 cans rinsed and drained
  • 3 cups cooked kidney beans, or 2 cans rinsed and drained

Optional Garnishes

Instructions
  1. Saute onion and bell pepper in olive oil for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in garlic and jalapenos, saute 3 more minutes.
  2. Stir in tomatoes through cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Stir occasionally
  3. Stir in refried beans until smooth and heat until it starts to bubble again. Serve with garnishes of your choice.
Notes
I found that the refried beans made the chili stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir them in last to prevent sticking.
