Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeño pepper chopped
  • 2-3 stalks of celery
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 large can diced tomatoes
  • 4 tomatoes cubed (optional if you want a stronger tomato flavor)
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 pack Beyond Beef or alternative, about 300 grams
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Add oil and all vegetables to a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Once the onions are translucent, add all the spices: salt, chili powder, cumin, oregano.
  • After a minute, add the diced tomatoes and beans (drain and rinse first).
  • Add the water and then raise the heat to high until it boils.
  • While you wait, start cooking the plant-based beef crumble in a separate frying pan.
  • Once the chili pot starts to boil, reduce heat and maintain a simmer for 30 minutes. If you feel like there’s too much liquid, leave the lid off.
  • Add in the crumble whenever it’s fully browned and ready, it’s not particularly time sensitive.
  • After the 30 minutes is up, add in the cilantro and lime juice. Cook for another 5 minutes and serve with anything else you’d like.
