Instant Pot Vegan Quinoa Chili is super hearty and delicious. Instructions for a regular pot on the stove also included. Kidney beans, black beans, fire roasted tomatoes make this a delicious and quick weeknight chili&nbsp;

Instant Pot Vegan Quinoa Chili

garlic cloves,

coriander

paprika

(15-ounce) cans diced fire roasted tomatoes

jalapeños

jalapeño pickling juice (optional)

water

kidney beans, drained and rinsed

black beans, drained and rinsed

corn tortilla,

avocado, sliced,

radish, thinly sliced

Sour crea Sour cream,

green onion,

To your Instant Pot, add the oil. Then turn the Instant Pot to “sauté” function (medium heat, if yours has the option). When the oil is warm and glistening, add the diced onion and salt; give it a mix and continue cooking the onions until they’re softened, about 3 minutes. Next, mix in the garlic cloves, cumin, coriander and paprika. Cook for a minute or so.&nbsp;

Pour in the fire roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, pickling juice, water, kidney beans, black beans and quinoa. Stir until everything is combined. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to “pressure cook” and set the timer to 10 minutes.&nbsp;

To Make the Chili in The Instant Pot:

To a medium pot, set over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is warm and glistening, add the diced onion and salt; give it a mix and continue cooking the onions until they’re softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, mix in the garlic cloves, cumin, coriander and paprika. Cook for a minute or so.&nbsp;

Pour in the fire roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, pickling juice, water, kidney beans, black beans and quinoa. Stir until everything is combined. Bring to a gentle simmer and then immediately bring the heat down to low. Allow to simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, until the beans have softened and all of the flavors are married together. Give the chili a taste and adjust the salt according to taste.&nbsp;&nbsp;

To Make the Chili in a regular pot:

Ladle the chili into bowls. Garnish with whatever you like. I added everything I had in my kitchen: fried tortilla strips, avocado, handful of cheese, sliced radish, dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions.&nbsp;

This freezes and reheats really well. Just be sure to make sure the chili is at room temperature and place in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, I would add it to the microwave or thaw it in the fridge and then reheat on the stove.&nbsp;

To Serve:

Flavorful, vegetarian black bean, sweet potato, and quinoa chili with a cooling smoked chipotle greek yogurt creme. This healthy chili is made in one pot, packed with protein, and perfect for weeknight dinners.

Great idea to add quinoa to a chili!! I like your table, it makes pictures so much warmer. I just bought DSLR and I have to make some warm looking wooden oversized tray for my pictures. I'm subscribed, so keep churning amazing recipes:-)!!

You are so right about social media where it is not real life. Sometimes very difficult to blend in even with friends. Perfect recipe for my family. Thanks!

i would like to know the Nutritional values for this recipe. I made it yesterday and LOVE IT! I track my calories, etc. Thanks!

That looks great! I’m going to try it.Love the recipe
