Add the chili powder and cumin; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently to toast the spices. Stir in the canned tomatoes, kidney beans, and ½ cup of water. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer 7 to 9 minutes, until thoroughly combined and slightly reduced in volume. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
