Vegan Mexican chilli | Easy vegan chili

Vegan Mexican chilli is one of the easiest recipes and also most filling too. Bean chilli recipe had been in my wish list for long. I love Mexican food. I have loved having it outside whether in Melbourne or in Canberra. Whether you are vegan or vegetarian, you have plenty of options when you eat Mexican.

Most of the dishes are nut free and ranges from finger food, snacks , salads dips to filling meals. They are full of colors, have a hint of spice and heat and yet very filling. Corn, avocado, chipotle and beans are great way to increase your flavor and nutrient profile. I love using canned beans for this vegan Mexican recipe as it reduces my cooking time on a weeknight.

Note: You can always soak the beans earlier and then boil it as you would for chickpeas and kidney beans. It is definitely cheaper, just needs some preparation.
