This is the best gluten free chili recipe ever. I used a prepared gluten-free enchilada sauce as one of the main ingredients. You are going to go nuts over this chili. It is the bomb. Not only is it gluten free it is perfect for anyone on a low sugar diet. The spicy flavor comes from added chipotle sauce and some herbs and seasonings. This simple by flavorful chili is perfect for a week night dinner option. I think it would be amazing served over a baked potato, or over a grilled hot dog - to make the perfect chili dog! And all on its own it is very healthy - for a vegetarian meal.

What is great about this recipe is that you can add your own mix of beans. This is what I had on hand so that is what I used. You could easily substitute black beans, kidney beans, navy beans, or simply use all pinto beans. Whatever floats your boat.
