• 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to allow it to caramelize slightly.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken or beef broth, kidney beans, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 8

Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, or sliced green onions as desired.
