Spicy chilli give this dish plenty of kick, but you can always reduce the quantity or leave it out entirely if you’re cooking for children.
Which beans should I use for this recipe?
We’ve used tins of mixed beans for this recipe, but a good mixture of pretty much any beans will taste delicious in a vegan chilli.
Mixed beans can include a variety of beans such as black beans, chickpeas, pinto beans, haricot beans, adzuki beans, and cannellini beans. They will almost always include red kidney beans, which are a must for a good chilli.
Watch out for tinned mixed beans which are sold in chilli sauce. This will add extra spice to your chilli that you may not want!
Is this recipe healthy?
The mixture of beans in these vegan chilli tortilla cups will provide you with plenty of protein and nutrients, and along with the tomatoes and onions it’ll help you towards your 5-a-day, too!
Spices, like paprika and cumin, have also been shown to have some health benefits, so this chilli may even help to increase your iron levels, or help with your digestive and brain health.
This dish provides plenty of carbs for an energy boost, but it is fairly low in fat, so you may want to serve this with a dollop of smashed avocado or vegan sour cream to balance out the meal.
