Tex-Mex Chipotle Chili
Chili was a staple in my household growing up; cheap to make a lot of and could feed the family on a budget. I still LOVE chili, and I'm always trying to make it a bit differently each time. This time I went with a Tex-Mex version that included spicy, smoky chipotle peppers, plant-based beef, veggies, and hours of cooking to really intensify those flavours.
Also, if you follow the link to my blog, I attached a chili jacket potato sitch that was so delicious. Everything is better with potatoes <3

- Begin heating the butter & EVOO in a large skillet set to just about medium heat. Once heated, add the pepper flakes & chipotle peppers. Stir and cook for a minute before adding the onion, green onions, bell pep, and a good pinch of salt. Stir and cook 6 - 7 minutes. Push everything to one side and drop in the Beyond Beef. Break up the beef in to crumbles as it cooks for 5 - 6 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste, tex mex, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, chipotle powder, cayenne, and a good pinch of salt. Stir and continue to cook another 2 - 3 minutes.
- Pour in the tomatoes, water, and broth. Bring to a boil and once boiled, reduce heat to medium low, add the 1/2 tsp. sea salt, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. If needed, add more water if the chili gets too thick but you want to cook it for at least an hour and a half to intensify the flavours.
- Taste and adjust salt to your liking. ENJOY!
