   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

   Add Spices

   Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.

   Combine Main Ingredients

   Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.

   Simmer the Chili

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

   Finish and Serve

   After simmering, taste the chili and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in chopped cilantro just before serving. Serve hot in cups or bowls with a wedge of lime on the side.
