How to Make 3 Bean Vegetarian Chili Goya Beans
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add Goya beans (drained and rinsed), pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. (Adjust to your preference; this chili benefits from extra salt and pepper to balance the sweetness of the pumpkin.)
- Serve hot, topped with your favorite cheese for nachos or chili cheese fries!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
