Ingredients

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, diced (optional)
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon of oregano

1 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes
1 cup of vegetable broth
1 cup of canned pumpkin puree

Preparation

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, and jalapeno (if using) to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the black beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, pumpkin puree, and lime juice to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chili is thick and flavorful, about 45 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
