Recipe Notes
Be sure to use your favorite chunky salsa when making this chili, anything from mild to hot will work well.Most well-stocked markets will carry instant refried beans. At my local WalMart, I found an assortment of Instant Mexicali Rose flavors including fat-free pinto beans, fat-free black beans, green chile and spicy chorizo.From the recipe author, Andrew Schloss: "The amino acid structure of chicken eggs is the gold standard against which all other proteins are measured. Of all the non-animal proteins (soy, peanuts, grains), Quorn comes closest to the balance of amino acids in eggs."Serving size: ¼th recipe (about 1-½ cups)Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.6*SmartPoints (Green plan)0*SmartPoints (Blue plan)0*SmartPoints (Purple plan)5*PointsPlus (Old plan)
