Preparation

Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
Thinly slice green onions.
Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then onions, peppers and Enchilada Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften slightly, 2-3 min.

Stir in crushed tomatoes, chipotle sauce and black beans with their canning liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces slightly, 8-10 min.

While stew simmers, add half the lime zest, lime juice and sour cream to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

Arrange tortilla chips in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then drizzle with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
Bake in the middle of the oven until lightly toasted and crispy, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on chips so they don't burn!)
While chips are still warm, season with remaining lime zest and salt, to taste.
