Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let the spices toast for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once done, ladle the chili into bowls and enjoy hot!
