TIPS FOR VEGAN STEW

I like to add 1 jalapeño to this recipe, but I remove most of the seeds. If you like your stew even spicier, you can add an additional jalapeño or leave some of the seeds in the stew.
Cayenne Advice: I always start with ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, but you can either omit or add more depending on the spice level you desire.
Canned Tomato Information: I used fire roasted diced tomatoes from a can in this recipe, you can instead use canned diced tomatoes with green chilis if you want more of a kick.
Other topping ideas include tortilla chips, avocados, sour cream, or sliced radishes.
Protein Advice: If you want you can increase the amount of beans to up the protein. If you eat meat, you could add in some cooked ground beef, turkey or shredded chicken.
