Ingredients:

  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced 
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 15-ounce cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • 5 14 ½-ounce cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 4-ounce can diced green chile peppers (optional)

Place beans in a separate airtight storage container or resealable plastic bag. Cover or seal and chill for up to 24 hours.
