Description
This hearty dish is the ultimate spin on Tex-Mex chili! It uses unique flavors that complement each other to perfection, tantalizing the taste buds and leaving you nice and full. Sweet corn, fragrant pumpkin, and meaty red beans come together to create this colorful and hearty chili. Preferably served in a burrito with guac, salsa, and vegan sour cream. It’s absolute perfection!
To mix it up a little, dollop this yummy chili onto a roasted sweet potato. Make it even more delicious with some vegan ranch, diced cherry tomatoes, red onions, or whatever your heart desires!
