Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper finely chopped
  • 6 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • Add the tomatoes with juice, all the beans, and the kosher salt.
