Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 quarts black beans plus water for soaking & cooking
  • 4 large bay leaves
  • 3 quarts water a gallon if you like thinner chili
  • 1 whole clove garlic
  • 3 onions chopped and sauteed
  • 2 to 3 cups peppers I like a variety of green, Anaheim, poblano, and jalapeno
  • 1/2 c. chili pepper powder
  • 1/2 cup chili powder
  • 1/4 cup cumin
  • 3 6 oz. cans tomato paste
  • 3 cups diced tomatillos
  • 1 32 oz jar green chili's I like 505 Brand
  • 1 bunch of fresh minced cilantro (it get's cooked so cilantro haters never know it's there)
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • juice from 3 limes
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Be sure not to add vinegar or more than a very small pinch of salt to the beans as they are cooking. Both can stop the bean softening process and make the beans and skins tougher.
