Instructions
  1. Combine the beans, tomatoes, ketchup, garlic, taco seasoning, red onion, chilis, broth in your instant pot. Stir thoroughly. Program to bean/chili and let cook. About 10 minutes before the pot is done pour olive oil in skillet. Brown your vegi crumbles. I like them to be a bit crisp for texture. Once the chili is done pour the crumbles in and stir. Ready to serve and top with your garnishes.
Recipe Notes

*For the vegi crumbles I used the Smart Ground Mexican 

You could easily make this in a crockpot as well.

If you wanted to use ground chicken, turkey, or beef you could substitute as well.
