Craving a Chilli, but trying to avoid beans?
Don't worry, we've got you covered. Yes, beans are traditionally a key ingredient in a chilli, however in our opinion you don't need them to enjoy the full flavour of Chilli.
We're breaking the rules and going bean-free...
It makes our Tummy a lot Happier.
This recipe is jammed packed full of delicious flavours and is a great family dinner recipe. It's also great as it's all cooked in one pot, which means less washing up - that always makes us Happy!
We love our No Bean Chilli served on top a bed of homemade Sweet Potato Fries and then topped with chopped Green Onions & a generous helping of our absolute favourite, Avocado & Lime Crema - The combination is AMAZING!
A healthy, delicious and comforting recipe perfect for the cooler weather, or anytime you fancy a bit of warming spice.
Also a fantastic recipe for meal-prep.
Happy Cooking!
