  • 3/4 cup red onion, diced

  • 1-2 Roma tomatoes, diced

  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

A great recipe for first-time cooks. You can't go wrong with this healthy chili-like stew.

Directions

  • Cook rice according to package directions, keep warm, set aside.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the bell pepper and red onion in the olive oil, until the onion is cooked (about 5 minutes); add tomatoes at the end and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add black beans, red kidney beans, tomato sauce, salsa, and corn; stir to combine thoroughly.
  • Add remaining ingredients (all spices); stir to combine; simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with brown rice (I usually put the brown rice at the bottom of the bowl, chili on top, and stir to combine).
