- Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and bell pepper, cooking until soft (6-7 minutes). Add garlic, chili powder, and cumin, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups chicken broth and beans, bringing mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer briskly, until sauce is thickened (8-10 minutes). Use a spoon to mash some of the beans while cooking, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
