6 Ingredient Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili w/ Quinoa 🥣

This vegan and gluten-free chili is the perfect fall meal. It makes enough for 4 heaping servings that you can eat right away, store in the fridge to eat throughout the week, or freeze to enjoy at a later date! This chili is delicious on its own, or top with avocado, green onion, lime, and some vegan sour cream (we use Forager plain cashew yogurt!). Enjoy! 🥰

INGREDIENTS:

1 can of black beans (or 2 cups homemade black beans)

1 cup quinoa

1 medium sweet potato, peeled & diced

1 jar of chunky salsa (mild, medium, or spicy... you choose!)

2 cups vegetable broth (I used organic Better Than Bouillon seasoned vegetable base + water)

1 tablespoon taco seasoning (if you don't have taco seasoning, you can use a combination of 1tsp cumin, 1tsp chili powder, 1/2tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder)

salt & pepper to taste
