ounce can diced tomatoes (preferably fire-roasted) with their juice
4
ounce can diced green chilis
2
15-ounce cans of beans (such as pinto, kidney, or black), drained
1
cup vegetable broth
1
package (7.4oz) Nature’s Fynd Original Meatless Breakfast Patties, cooked according to package directions
4
ounces Nature’s Fynd Original Dairy-Free Cream Cheese
2-3
tablespoons dairy-free milk such as almond or oat

Steps
1.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2.
Add chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano and let bloom until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
3.
Add canned tomatoes, green chilis, beans, and broth and turn heat to medium-high to bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until slightly thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
4.
Meanwhile, chop the meatless breakfast patties into ½-inch pieces. Just before serving add to the thickened chili and season to taste with salt and pepper.
5.
To make dairy-free crema: combine dairy-free cream cheese with dairy-free milk until smooth and evenly mixed.
6.
To serve, ladle chili into bowls and top with crema, cilantro, avocado, radishes, and any other garnishes of your choice.
