Tips & Notes

• Add other vegetables like corn, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes for extra nutrition and flavor.

• For extra protein, add some crumbled tofu or plant-based meat substitute.

• This vegan chili is naturally high in fiber and plant-based protein from the beans.

• Serve with avocado, lime, and fresh herbs for a fresh twist.

• Leftovers can be used as a filling for burritos or over baked potatoes.
