In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sweat for 3-4 min until translucent. Add the bell pepper cubes and cook for 5 more min. Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 min.
- 2
Reduce the heat. Sprinkle the vegetables with paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat and let the spices toast for 1 min to release their aromas.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes with their juice. Scrape the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer, then let cook uncovered for 10 min until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 4
Add the rinsed red beans and drained corn. Gently mix. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or broth. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10-15 min.
- 5
Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the lime juice and half of the chopped herbs.
- 6
Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 min. Serve in bowls, topped with the remaining herbs and your choice of toppings.
- Always rinse canned beans to remove excess salt and the preserving liquid.
- Toast the spices with the vegetables to awaken their aromas and avoid a raw taste.
- For a thicker chili, lightly mash some of the beans with a fork at the end of cooking.
- This chili is even better reheated the next day, as the flavors have time to meld.
- Serve with basmati rice, corn tortillas, or nachos. Offer toppings like avocado, sour cream, sliced red onion, or jalapeños.
- Variations: add textured soy protein, replace a can of beans with chickpeas, or stir in a square of dark chocolate for an original touch.
