Vegan Chili

Happy Meatless Monday! This meatless vegan chili is the perfect bowl of healthy and yummy comfort food! It’s totally easy to make too and my whole family loves it! I ate mine with avocado, cilantro and corn chips, my daughter scooped out the corn with Fritos and my other kids ate it plain. This meal is done in roughly 20 minutes prep to finish and perfect for a busy weeknight.
