The story behind
I used to think a good chili needed meat to be filling, but this recipe totally changed my mind. I remember making a huge batch for a football game once, and my friends didn't even realize it was veggie until they asked for the recipe! It’s inspired by the classic Tex-Mex style but lighter and more vibrant. It’s the perfect lunch for a cold afternoon when you need something to keep you going. I highly recommend topping it with a dollop of sour cream or some sliced jalapeños. A glass of iced hibiscus tea or a cold lager is the perfect partner for this dish. It’s honest, simple, and incredibly delicious.
