Mexican Plant Based Chili

A classic take on your favorite fall recipe but with a kick! I add in enchilada sauce, green chilis, and made it plant-based. You can certainly add in extra protein but it's not necessary since it already has brown rice and black beans which is a great source of complete protein! This is a perfect idea for meal prep as it makes a huge serving and is easy! Enjoy with cornbread and you have yourself a classic winner.
