I recently shared a very similar recipe (only it was the meaty version of this Mexican dish) but like many others, this year I want to work harder on eating as small amount of meat - and any other products of animal origin – as possible and slowly switch to a plant-based diet. However, I have to admit, I cheated this time a little bit because when it comes to chili, an unreasonable amount of sour cream is a must for me. But you can obviously leave it out or find a plant-based alternative to turn it inti a vegan recipe. In addition, this dish is perfect for anyone who is looking for meal-prep ideas as part of their New Year’s resolution, because chili can be stored for a long time.

I’m a vegetarian but not my family. I have always made only vegetarian chili, I add TVP ( texturized vegetable protein), it’s available in health food stores and gives it more texture not to forget the extra protein, I also like to add some cubed sweet potatoes, it balances the heat from the chili powder and some dried oregano
