Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion Adds flavor and depth; substitute with shallots for a milder taste.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Cloves Provides aromatic warmth; use garlic powder in a pinch (1 clove = 1/8 tsp garlic powder).
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin Offers earthiness and warmth; optional: use coriander for a unique flavor.
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano Enhances savory notes; Italian seasoning can be a suitable replacement.
  • 2 tbsp Chili Powder Adds heat and depth; adjust based on your spice preference.
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential for flavor balance; sea salt or kosher salt can work well.
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Introduces a slight kick; freshly cracked pepper is preferred for best flavor.
For the Main Ingredients
  • 1 can Diced Green Chiles Introduces mild heat and flavor; fresh chiles can be used, adjust for preferred spiciness.

  • 1 can White Beans Provides creaminess and fiber; opt for Cannellini or Great Northern beans.
