Directions

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add beans, tomatoes, chipotle to taste, broth and brown sugar.

Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.

Stir in cooked wheat berries and heat through, about 5 minutes more. (If using frozen wheat berries, cook until thoroughly heated.)

Remove from the heat. Stir in lime juice.

Garnish each bowl with avocado and cilantro.

For the cooked wheat berries:

Sort through wheat berries carefully, discarding any stones. Rinse well under cool running water.

Place in a large heavy saucepan. Add water and salt.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Drain and rinse.

To serve hot, use immediately.

Otherwise, follow the make-ahead instructions.
