1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
28 oz diced tomato, 1 can with juices
15 oz black beans, 1 can, rinsed and drained
15 oz kidney bean, 1 can, rinsed and drained

1 cup frozen corn
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 jalapeño, small, chopped
1 jalapeño, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrot, and bell pepper and stir. Cook for about 8 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the oregano, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, cinnamon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and corn and stir to combine.

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In the meantime, prepare the cornbread batter: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and milk until well-combined.

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Add the jalapeño and stir to incorporate.
