Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add chopped carrot and sauté for a minute or two until lightly golden.
Add chopped onion with chopped red bell pepper and sauté until onion is translucent and the pepper is tender.
Then add chopped garlic and sliced jalapeno. Stir for one more minute to be fragrant.
Add canned beans and chickpeas, crushed tomato, chipotle sauce, smoked paprika, dried oregano, chili flakes, cumin, and water.
Stir to combine and simmer for 20 minutes until liquid is reduced and flavors are well combined.
Serve into individual bowls and top with your favorite garnishes or use as a filling for Mexican tortillas, burritos, or enchiladas!
Notes
This is a great make-ahead meal.
This can be frozen, see my tips above.
If you want this spicier you can add more chili flakes.
If you want it less spicier you can omit the chili flakes and the jalapeno or one or the other.
This can be doubled to serve a large group or stored for later.
Top with any of your favorite chili toppings, I've listed some above.
Meat can be added to this recipe if you'd like, beef, turkey, steak would all be delicious.
