Vegan Quinoa Chili

Vegan Quinoa Chili

Change up your chili game with this unique combo of quinoa, lentils and beans. The addition of sweet potatoes and cocoa give a nod to traditional American foods and that kick of cinnamon takes your bowl to a whole new level. This is definitely going to be added to my Sunday fall football menu! Recipe courtesy of Chef Billy Parisi.
