📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften slightly.
