Sauté the vegetablesHeat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the spicesStir in the chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to toast the spices slightly, which enhances their flavor.

Combine all ingredientsAdd the three types of beans, diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients and dissolve the tomato paste into the liquid.
-
Simmer the chiliBring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
-
Adjust seasoningsRemove lid and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken the chili to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
-
Serve and garnishLadle the chili into bowls and serve hot. Optional garnishes include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or crushed tortilla chips.
