Add olive oil to a hot pan over medium heat. Add onion, green peppers and potatoes. Lightly sprinkle with salt. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Add in minced garlic. Saute for another two minutes.

Add kidney beans (with liquid) and tomato sauce. After you’ve poured in the tomato sauce, fill the can with water twice and add the water to the pot.

Stir in adobo and truvia. Start with ½ tbsp of Adobo, and add a bit more if desired (up to 1 tbsp). It’s really up to personal preference, but work up to the tablespoon so you don’t over-season. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Turn heat onto medium low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
