Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it softens.
  • Stir in the garlic, chipotle peppers, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for one minute until fragrant.

  • Add the chickpeas, pinto beans, and corn. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew thickens.

Notes

Chipotle amount can be reduced for milder heat or increased for more smoke. The stew thickens further after cooking, so stir in a little broth when reheating leftovers. It pairs well with warm corn tortillas on the side.
