Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven, such as a Le Creuset. Crumble in Plant-Based Ground “Beef” and cook until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Add 2 tablespoons olive oil into pot and turn to medium-high. Add in diced onion, peppers, sweet potatoes and salt. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, until onions are translucent.

Reduce heat to medium and add cooked Plant-Based Ground “Beef” along with kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, water, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano leaves and ground cumin.

Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook for 40 to 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lime juice, taste and adjust seasoning, as needed.

Serve topped with sliced jalapeno and/or diced red onion, as desired.
