Vegetarian White Bean Chili with a spicy kick has a rich history rooted in the American Southwest. This hearty and flavorful dish has been a staple in the region for decades, with its origins traced back to the innovative chefs of Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The dish gained popularity for its unique blend of spices, including cumin, chili powder, and jalapeños, which give it a fiery kick. Today, it's a favorite in vegetarian and vegan restaurants across the country, with variations that include the use of poblano peppers, tomatillos, and even a touch of adobo sauce for an extra punch.
