- 2 cups hot water
- 2 teaspoons chicken stock concentrate (such as Knorr® Homestyle)
- 3 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained, divided
- 1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (such as Goya®)
- 4 teaspoons adobo sauce from chipotle peppers (such as Goya®)
- 8 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 dash ground black pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- Mix hot water and chicken stock concentrate in a bowl until dissolved; pour into a blender. Add 1 can black beans, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce; puree until smooth.
- Place bacon in a large pot and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon, reserving grease in the pot.
- Stir onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper into the bacon grease in the pot; cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and black pepper; cook until fragrant, 30 to 45 seconds.
