In the picture, you see the Vegan Three Bean Chili topped with my kids favorite Cashew Cheese. Also this is one of the fillings I use with my Jackfruit Mushroom Taco Meat on Taco Tuesdays. The taco recipe has several parts and when you layer them all together you get an incredible burst of flavors, textures and enjoyment!
My extended family LOVE this recipe as well and I hope you will make it a regular part of your recipe rotation in your home!
As always, do try the recipe and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Thank you for your recipes! I live outside of the US, and do not have access to “strained tomatoes”. Any suggestions on how to recreate that using canned or fresh tomatoes?
Hi Ann! Great question and so glad you enjoy the recipes! If you are in Europe, “strained tomatoes” is often labeled as “passata”. It’s essentially fresh tomatoes strained of seeds and flesh and stems. If you want to recreate it at home simply crush or lightly puree your tomatoes and pass through a large-hole sieve or strainer, or even colander! Hope this helps! – Team Muneeza
