Three-Bean Chili with Avocado and Lime

If you're looking for a meat substitute in Three-Bean Chili, you can use lentils, tempeh, or mushrooms for a hearty texture. For a vegetarian option, try adding more beans or a combination of quinoa and vegetables to maintain the protein content.

To store leftover Three-Bean Chili, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 4-5 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it in individual portions, where it can last for up to 3 months.

Three-Bean Chili can be made gluten-free by ensuring that the adobo seasoning and any other ingredients used are gluten-free. It can also be adapted for dairy-free diets by omitting the cheese and sour cream or using plant-based alternatives.

Three-Bean Chili pairs well with cornbread, rice, or tortilla chips for a complete meal. You can also serve it with a side salad or some steamed vegetables to add freshness and balance to the dish.

To adjust the spiciness of your Three-Bean Chili, you can add more or fewer chipotle peppers in adobo sauce according to your taste. If you prefer a milder chili, reduce the amount of chipotle peppers and consider adding a bit of sugar to balance the heat.
