| 1 | tablespoon chili powder |

| 3/4 | pound beef for stew, cut into 1-inch pieces |
| Nonstick cooking spray | |
| 1 | can (about 14 ounces) fat-free reduced-sodium beef broth |
| 1 | tablespoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, or to taste |
| 1 | can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
| 1 | large green bell pepper or 2 poblano peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
| 2 | cans (15 ounces each) pinto or red beans, rinsed and drained |
| Chopped fresh cilantro (optional) | |
PREPARATION:
- Combine chili powder and cumin in medium bowl. Add beef; toss to coat. Coat large saucepan or Dutch oven with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add beef; cook and stir 5 minutes. Add beef broth and chipotles with sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 hour 15 minutes or until beef is very tender.
