Tex Mex Tempeh and Bean Chili
We were going for a deeply spiced, hearty chili, and we think we nailed it with this Tex Mex Tempeh and Bean Chili! Leftovers the next day – lunch couldn’t come soon enough! We ate this with saltine crackers and cornbread. We’ve also perfected our cornbread recipe, which we make in a cast iron skillet! WINNER!
