Southwestern Spiced Chicken and Black Bean Stew

Ingredients

2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
3 thick slices bacon
6 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2-1/4 lb.), large pieces of fat trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely diced
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 cup beer
1 can (15-1/2oz.) black beans, rinsed (about 2 cups)
1 dried chipotle (optional)
2 cups homemade or low-salt canned chicken broth; more if needed
3 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime
Sour cream for garnish
Fried tortilla strips (optional)

Description

It's Well Worth The Effort To Find A Dried Chipotle, Which Gives The Broth A Wonderful Smoky Spice. To Make Fried Tortilla Strips, Cut Corn Or Flour Tortillas Into Long Strips And Fry In 350°F Oil Until They Start To Brown, About 2 Minutes.
