Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Put the pot over medium heat and when it is hot, add the oil.

  2. Step 2

    Add the onions, garlic, bell pepper, jalapenos, oregano, thyme and chili powder and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the drained beans, tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups water and raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low and let cook, partially covered, for 1 1/2 hours. If the mixture gets too thick, add the remaining 1/2 cup water.

  4. Step 4

    Serve immediately or transfer to a container once cooled. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with cilantro and/or low-fat plain yogurt.
