Why This Dish Is A Crowd Favorite

This stew is packed with bold flavors and hearty ingredients that satisfy your hunger. It’s simple to make and perfect for a cozy meal any day of the week. The spice adds a nice kick without being overwhelming.

Cooking Tips

- Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
- Toast the tortillas lightly before adding them to the stew for extra texture.
- Adjust the heat by adding more or less chili powder to suit your taste.

Step 1

Heat some olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them gently until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take around 10 minutes. Next, add the chipotle peppers and stir everything together for about a minute until you can really smell their smoky flavor. Sprinkle in the chili powder and cumin, cooking and stirring for another 5 minutes to let those spices bloom.

Step 2

Pour in the broth along with all the beans—pinto, garbanzo, and black—and bring the mixture up to a boil. Once bubbling, add the tomatoes, lower the heat, and let it all simmer so the flavors meld nicely, about 20 minutes. Stir in the corn and a pinch of cinnamon, then keep cooking for another 15 minutes, stirring now and then. Finish by seasoning with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to taste, and you’re ready to enjoy!

How To Serve It Best

Serve this stew hot with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice can brighten the flavors. It pairs well with a side of rice or a simple green salad.

Leftover Care Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it seems too thick. This stew also freezes well—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
