Easy and tasty. Just needs some leafy greens with it.

Very easy to make and very tasty. It's definitely going into my favorites list.

It's too good and simple not to rate it 5 estrellas! Substituted the black beans with red kidneys n pinto for no other reason than 'thats what I had in ' But no avocado, not a big shame cuz it was still a great dinner! Fantastic...again

Delicious and much quicker to make than my usual chilli. I added a tsp of cacao powder for some added depth (and nutritional benefits) as I have done in my previous chilli.

Very tasty. Served with green salad and freekah

Really easy to make. We had it with brown rice. It’s quite spicy and also tangy. I think I should’ve followed your advice and checked the flavour and added extra honey at the end but pretty decent :)
