Instructions: Cook the pepper, jalapeno, onion and garlic in a large pan, or Dutch oven, with a little olive oil until tender. while thats cooking slowly add the spices. Combine the chopped tomato, tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, beans and water to the above mixture. (try adding 1 1/2 cups of the water at first, than slowly add the rest if necessary) cover, bring to a boil and then let simmer for 20-30 minutes. Let stand to thicken. I serve with rice!! You can add more chili powder, and/or the rest of the jalapeno if it needs to be more spicy.

Serves: 2-4
