Here is an authentic Texas chili recipe for your collection. It's not always easy to be vegan in Texas because so many of our specialties and our comfort foods are meat-intensive. Chili Is serious business in Texas, and this is a recipe I would not hesitate to serve to my carnivorous friends. Hardly a week goes by that I don't have some myself, and we make sure there's enough in the freezer to get us through until the next time we can cook.---John
