How to Make Black And White Chile

  1. In separate bowls, rinse and drain the black beans and pinto beans.
  2. Place chicken in a large pot; cover with 2 inches of cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  3. Remove chicken from pot; let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, remove bones and chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Reserve chicken broth.
  4. In a large stockpot, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes). Remove from pot and set aside.
  5. In the same pot, whisk together flour and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly (about 1 minute).
  6. Gradually whisk in the reserved chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).
  7. Add the black beans, pinto beans, onion mixture, chopped chicken, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to the thickened broth. Stir well.
  8. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until beans are tender.
  9. Stir in the chopped bell pepper during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  10. Serve hot over crushed tortilla chips, topped with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese.
