2. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
3. Add diced tomatoes with juices, drained black and pinto beans, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and discard the bay leaf. Blend 1 ½ cups of the chili until smooth, then return it to the pot. Alternatively, use an immersion blender or mash with a potato masher for desired consistency.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Cook vegetables thoroughly before adding beans to avoid a mushy texture and ensure proper thickness.
• Use a mix of beans for texture; rinse canned beans to cut down on sodium.
• Add chili powder and cayenne pepper gradually to control spiciness and prevent overpowering heat.
• If the chili is too thick, add vegetable broth or water in small amounts to adjust consistency.
• Simmer the chili for at least an hour to enhance the flavors and improve taste.
