Ingredients

Smoked chipotle chilies, which come canned in adobo sauce, give this hearty chili an key ingredient for vegetarian chili, and bulgur provides a meat-like texture and a thick consistency. The combination of spices makes this dish taste even better the next day. Recipe may be frozen and halved.
