"We're starting out with a really rich and delicious and flavorful chili that's meat-free!" says Rach. "So, you can serve this to your friends who are vegetarian. You can even make it vegan, if you skip the queso fresco topping. But, I love the flavor of this chili!" It includes chipotle paste, ancho chili powder, cumin, oregano and cinnamon, as well as roasted poblanos, semi-dried tomatoes and fire-roasted tomatoes. And it's so easy to make!
