Easy Vegan Chili

This chili is packed with plant-based proteins, full of veggies, and easy to make. If you like it spicy, you can add up to 1 tablespoon of chili powder.
For the yogurt cilantro sauce:
Mix 1 cup Greek yogurt with about 1-2 Tbsp of chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lemon, and salt and pepper to taste. This adds a nice creaminess to the chili. If you are vegan, you can use coconut yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt.
