How to Make Boston Black Bean Chili

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
  4. Add black beans (drained and rinsed), diced tomatoes, corn, vegetable broth, and chocolate. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat, or a touch of lime juice for brightness.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
