You can make delicious and healthy dishes on a budget, because healthy food doesn’t have to be expensive. This recipe is so cheap, it costs less than 3 euros or 4 dollars for 4 people, excluding tortilla chips.

We’ve used organic 100% corn tortilla chips with no preservatives or additives, but you can use your favorite tortilla chips or make them at home, the recipe is so easy, and they are cheaper than store bought, and you can use your favorite spices.

If you can make your our tortilla chips at home, you can use our recipe (it’s amazing and you it’s ready in 15 or 20 minutes) and you can also make homemade tortillas with corn flour. Both recipes are vegan and gluten-free.

We use red beans instead of another kind of beans, because they contain more disease-fighting antioxidants than blueberries. We shared with you other recipes using them, such as these healthy veggie burgers or this super easy gluten-free brownie.

You can use other vegetables or even you can remove the cayenne powder if you don’t like spicy food or you have a delicate stomach. You can also use vegetable broth instead of water and your vegan chili will have more flavor.

If you add more or less liquid, your Red Beans Vegan Chili will be more or less thick, it’s up to you! Enjoy this recipe, you need to try it!
