Directions

Prep 15 minCook 40 min

1
Warm the olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat.
2
Add the onions, carrots, celery, poblano, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and aromatic, about 10–12 minutes.
3
Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, minced chipotle, cumin, and dried coriander; cook 1 minute to bloom the spices.
4
Pour in the vegetable broth and water, then add the black beans, pinto beans, and salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook partially covered until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
5
Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the crumbled cheese and diced avocado.
