Ingredients
  

2 cups Hatch green chilies, roasted, peeled, and chopped

1 large onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium zucchinis, diced

2 medium carrots, sliced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust for spice preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Avocado slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Hatch Chilies: If you haven't already, roast the Hatch green chilies over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred. Place them in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes to steam, then peel off the skin and chop.

    Sauté the Base: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add Veggies to the Crockpot: In your crockpot, combine the sautéed onions and garlic with the chopped Hatch chilies, diced zucchini, sliced carrots, diced red bell pepper, corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes.

        Season the Stew: Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

          Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended.

            Finish & Serve: Once done, stir in the lime juice right before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired.
