Tips

  • You may wish to have more or less chili powder, depending on the kind you use. We used a chipotle powder that is very strong.
  • If you can find fire-roasted tomatoes, use them. They give an incredible flavour.
  • This recipe could also be done in a slow cooker or instant pot.

*Meal prep tip: portion into individual servings and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat: thaw, and then microwave, or heat in a pot on the stove.
