Chili sin carne

Chili sin carne with quinoa and chia seeds
This chili sin carne recipe uses a mixture of quinoa and chia seeds. This makes the dish wonderfully healthy and filling, because the dish is rich in protein and fiber. The mixture also gives a fantastic texture, very similar to the classic dish with ground beef. This is due to the quinoa and the small chia seeds, which absorb liquid and give a coarse texture.
