This lean chilli is rich and warming and makes a perfect addition to your weekly meal prep.
It is so simple to make in one pot and can be stored in the fridge for up to three days, or frozen for up to one month. I love to serve mine with quinoa and kale and to top with my guacamole and fresh jalapenos. The addition of cacao adds a rich depth of flavour to this chilli – as well as a little antioxidant power.
