Condiments like grated cheese and chopped cilantro were served on the side TVP or textured vegetable protein is easily obtained at natural food stores as well as some supermarkets.

Simply add whatever vegetables you want along with the TVP, tomato sauce as needed and one can change this meatless chili into many delicious possibilities Cook on stove top or slow cooker. You may ask about beans: add them if you wish! See less
