Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 yellow onions (peeled and chopped)
- 1 bell pepper (cored, seeded, and chopped)
- 2 jalapeno peppers (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions
- Put the pot over medium heat and when it is hot, add the oil.
- Add the onions, garlic, bell pepper, jalapenos, oregano, thyme and chili powder and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the drained beans, tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups water and raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low and let cook, partially covered, for 1 1/2 hours. If the mixture gets too thick, add the remaining 1/2 cup water.
