Vegan Black Bean Chili
Any recommendation for healthy and comforting food? I have got one for you today. Presenting Vegan Black Bean Chili. This is my bowl of comfort food. It’s hearty , delicious and filling at the same time. It could be served as a dip or a soup and it comes together in less than 30 minutes. This recipe is completely vegan and you can skip the chips to make it healthy. I am going to sit here and get cozy with this bowl.
