1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 1/2 cups mushrooms, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes


1 In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add peppers,
mushrooms, onion,celery, and garlic. Cook about 7 minutes until vegetables begin
to soften. Add seasonings and continue to cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring
