digmom's Pork & Black Bean Chili

digmom casually mentioned making this in the Hizzy & a number of us pounced on her, demanding a recipe. Rather than counterattack, she kindly shared.
  • 1 large boneless pork chop, if fresh slice into thin strips; if frozen, slice into small chunks
  • chili powder
  • olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, minced
  • 3 bell peppers (1 green, 1 red, 1 yellow) chopped into large pieces
  • 2 cans black beans, drained
  • 2 cans minced tomatoes
  • salt
Slice pork chop into thin strips (or chunks, if frozen) and sprinkle it with chili powder. Cook it in a pan with some olive oil over medium heat until almost cooked. Put pork and juice into a bowl and set aside.

In the same pan, sauté one yellow onion, chopped, and two jalapeños, minced. Sprinkle with chili powder. When starting to get soft, add the chopped bell peppers and sauté until peppers turn bright colors. Add two cans of black beans, two cans of diced tomatoes, then add the meat & reserved juices. Add chili powder and salt to taste. Cook at a low boil until it gets to a consistancy you like, or you get too hungry to wait.
