Thick, hearty, spicy Beyond Meat® chili gets a blast of cool freshness from a Greek-yogurt-based lime crema. Cheddar cheese is the perfect topping.

Preparation

Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
Core, then finely chop jalapeño. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños.)
Using a strainer, drain and rinse beans.

Heat a large pot over medium-high.
When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then peppers, mirepoix and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) jalapeños. (TIP: Use less if you prefer a milder chili. Use more if you prefer a spicy chili!)
Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.

Add Beyond Meat® patties to the pot with the veggies.
Cook for 5-6 min, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy.**
Add garlic puree and Mexican Seasoning. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.

To the pot with Beyond Meat®, add crushed tomatoes, half the black beans and 1 cup (2 cup) water. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil over high. (TIP: Reserve remaining beans for another use.)
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium.
Simmer for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens slightly. (TIP: If you have time, keep it simmering on the stove for longer – chili gets better the longer it cooks.)

Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice and half the green onions.
