In my home, this recipe has long been a favorite. It is highly healthful and easy to prepare. The adobo chili must be ordered. Most supermarket stores sell them in small cans in the Mexican cuisine section. You can double the recipe if you’d like because this chili freezes wonderfully.

Made vegan and turkey versions. Both absolutely delish. I add extra chipotle.
I liked this chili. I added or adapted some things. I used tvp that I had soaked in water first. I used a homemade version of browning sauce and added extra adobe sauce and peppers. Thank you for the recipe.
It was ok. Wouldn’t make again. Tasted more like a tomato stew type dish rather than chili
This chili is awesome, kids love it too…
My husband and I loved this chili! Didn’t even miss the fact that it was not made with meat. I had to substitute diced tomatoes because I did not have stewed. The chipotle gives it just the right amount of kick!
