Steps:
- Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat. Tip in enough beef to cover the base of the pan in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the beef on each side, turning until it has a deep brown crust all over - this will give the stew a deep, beefy flavour. Remove to a plate using a slotted spoon and continue cooking until all the beef is browned. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, then tip in the onions, reduce the heat to low-medium and sizzle for 8-10 mins until soft, stirring and scraping the base of the pan to lift any browned bits.
- Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon and tomato purée. Stir for 1-2 mins until the spices are sizzling and aromatic, then tip in the chopped tomatoes and chipotle paste, if using, and crumble in the stock cubes. Return the beef to the pan with any resting juices, pour in 1.2 litres water, season and bring to a simmer.
- Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 1 hr 45 mins, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, tip the lentils into a bowl, cover with cold water and leave to soak. Drain, then add to the stew, cover again and continue to cook for 45 mins more, or until the beef and lentils are tender.
- Tip in all the beans, return to a simmer and bubble for 5 mins until the beans are warmed through. If your stew is soupy and you prefer it thicker, boil, uncovered, for a few minutes more until reduced to your liking. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or chipotle paste, if you like; it may also need some sugar depending on the tomatoes you've used (add up to 2 tsp). Will keep chilled for two days or frozen for two months. Leave to cool completely first.
- If making the tortilla croutons, cut the wraps into small triangles and heat enough oil to cover the base of a deep frying pan. Fry over a medium heat for 2-3 mins, tossing in the pan until crisp. Or, simply crumble tortilla chips to make a quick, crunchy topping.
- Serve the stew in bowls topped with your choice of feta, soured cream or yogurt, coriander, avocado and sliced chilli, lime wedges on the side for squeezing over and the tortilla croutons. Grind over some black pepper, if you like, before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right beans: For a hearty chili bean stew, choose a combination of beans that will hold their shape and not become mushy when cooked. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute and then letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your chili bean stew, the more nutritious it will be. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
- Add some spice: Chili bean stew is a great dish for adding your favorite spices. Some classic options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. You can also add fresh herbs, such as cilantro or oregano, for a more complex flavor.
- Simmer for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the stew to thicken. If you are short on time, you can cook the stew for a shorter amount of time, but it will not be as flavorful.
Conclusion:
Chili bean stew is a hearty, flavorful, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to suit your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chili bean stew mild or spicy, vegetarian or meaty, there is a recipe out there that is perfect for you.
