• 2 cans red beans
• 2 cans pinto beans
• 28 ounces tomato puree or crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups vegetable broth depends how thick you like your chili
• 1 cup tvp textured vegetable protein, again, your call on the thickness
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon cilantro
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• salt
• pepper

1. Saute onions in oil over medium-high heat until translucent
2. Add garlic and peppers and continue sauteing for about 5-10 minutes
3. Add beans and tomato sauce, mix it all together, lower heat to medium
4. Add seasonings to desired taste
5. Add TVP and broth to desired thickness (it will continue to thicken)
6. Let it simmer on low at least 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally.
7. Eat and enjoy! It's even better the next day, and it freezes very well!
