Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup roasted corn kernels (can sub regular corn)
  • 3 chipotle peppers in adobo, de-seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup walnut halves, finely chopped
  • 2-15oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
  • 3-15oz cans beans, drained and rinsed (I used black, pinto, and kidney beans)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt (more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients except lime juice in a slow cooker and stir to combine.
  2. Cook on low for 8 hours. Stir in lime juice and season to taste with salt. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like tortilla chips or skillet cornbread!

Notes

Stovetop version: Sauté onions, garlic, pepper, and mushrooms in a dutch oven or pot until softened. Add the rest of the ingredients except lime juice, bring to a boil, and then simmer on low heat (covered) for 30 minutes to an hour. Stir in lime and salt to taste at the end.
