  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 30 ml lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot on medium-high heat and swirl oil to coat the bottom. Add minced garlic and diced onions, sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant. Add spices and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. In a small bowl, mash 240 g of beans with a fork.
  3. Transfer mashed beans to the pot, add chicken broth, remaining beans, corn, green chilies, and chicken breasts. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot, stirring in lime juice, cilantro, and yogurt. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Notes

For a slow cooker, sauté garlic and onion, then transfer all ingredients except chicken. Cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 3 hours, shred chicken, and return it to the pot. For Instant Pot, add all ingredients and pressure cook on High for 20 minutes.
