Directions

Mealthy Tip

Vegetarian? Use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth. Want more heat? Chop up some fresh jalapeño pepper and add to the pot with the onions and garlic mixture. Cotija cheese is widely available in grocery stores, but if you can't find it try queso fresco or some crumbled feta.

Sam Dalton says:

This was a delicious chili dish. I think the chicken broth gave it great flavor, in addition to the garlic, onion, and cumin. You can definitely taste the citrus infused flavors, but it paired nicely together with the spice from the chilies.

Greg Jones says:

Black beans are on regular rotation at my house. This version with orange and green chili is really good. Lots of flavor!
