Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften slightly.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toast the spices for 1 minute to enhance their flavors.
Add the drained Goya black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans to the pot, followed by the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the chili and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Optionally, top with sour cream, shredded cheese, or sliced avocado.
