This easy 4 Ingredient Vegan Chili Verde is spicy and flavorful. Made in less than 15 minutes, it's a quick meal.
I decided to make this 4 Ingredient Vegan Chili Verde not only because my 3 Ingredient Vegan Chili has been such a huge hit and one of my favorite go-to meals, but because I thought a vegan green chili was overdue.
For this vegan white bean chicken chili verde, I used spicy tomatillo salsa, white beans, vegan chicken strips, and sweet corn. Since the salsa is quite spicy, the sweet corn balances the chili out.
I also like to add chopped avocado to add some creaminess and to tone things down even more. Another ingredient I like to top my chili verde off with is vegan mayo. Most people like to use vegan sour cream but I like the brightness of the vinegar in vegan mayo.
If you want an easy meal that comes together in minutes, this 4 Ingredient Vegan Chili Verde is for you!
This vegan green chili is perfect for a road trip. I love meals like this chili recipe for going camping. The last thing I want to do is pack a bunch of herbs and spices when I go on a road trip. I like things as easy as possible.
I prefer one pot meals over elaborate meals that take a lot of time and effort.
It's funny, I remember hating kidney beans in my chili as a kid. Even though I don't use kidney beans as much as other beans, I can't imagine chili without some kind of beans.
I always have anywhere from 2-5 different kinds of beans stocked in my pantry at all times. They are a great inexpensive source of protein.
Tips
- The outcome of this vegan green chili all depends upon the salsa you use. If you aren't into spicy foods, use a mild salsa instead of the one I listed.
- Change the ratio of ingredients to suit your tastes.
- Swap out the vegan chicken strips for another bean or maybe some white potato.
- Add some cilantro or lime juice for some brightness.

I made this last night but used Beyond ground beef instead because the grocery store didn't have the chicken (had to cook the meat before adding to this recipe). It was delicious! I had it with some tortilla chips.
