This started as a recipe given to me by a friend but I never follow exactly because I never seem to have the exact ingredients so I tend to make substitutions. This would be more flavorful with pork but I used leftover beef roast from the night before and it was fantastic.

I also made fresh corn tortillas to go with it, which was surprisingly easy and very tasty. I would serve with either cornbread or tortillas of your choice.

1 TB oil

1 onion,diced

4 cloves garlic,minced

2 cups cubed meat- beef or pork  (fresh or leftovers work fine)

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 green bell pepper,diced (you can use a whole if you like,I only had a half)

1/2 cup med salsa

2 cups broth (beef or if using pork I use chicken broth,can use water but will need to simmer longer)

1 TB chipotle sauce (I opened a can of chipotle chilis and used the sauce and saved the rest)

4 oz can diced green chilis

2-15 oz cans black beans,drained and rinsed

Start by sauteeing onions and garlic in the oil. If using raw meat, add this to the pot along with chili powder and cumin and cook meat until done. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for at least 30 minutes-longer will make the flavors better. Serve hot with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese garnish.

This served my family of 4 with a little leftover. To adjust the spiciness, change the amount of chipotle sauce.
