Thanks for stopping by for Meatless Monday today. Fall is in the air and so is all things pumpkin. I love to use it in unconventional ways and spice it up a bit. I know you are going to love this Vegan Pumpkin Chipotle Chili as much as I did.
Vegan Pumpkin Chipotle Chili
Chili is the perfect fall food isn’t it? I used a package of Beyond Meat (vegan meat substitute) for today’s recipe. You can use any meat substitute or if you are not a vegan, ground turkey or beef will work just as well. Pick your fave protein and get cooking!
Not only is this Vegan Pumpkin Chipotle Chili full of protein and flavor, it’s super easy to make on a weeknight. But, special enough for a weekend as well. It freezes well or keeps in the fridge for 5 days. I like to portion mine out and freeze it so I can easily pull out when I have a craving for a warm bowl of goodness.
What gives this Pumpkin Chipotle Chili that smokey chipotle taste? I’ve added a can of chipotles in Adobo sauce (I use Goya) found right at your regular grocer. Simply dice them up and add them in for that smokey and slightly spicy kick. I also added in a cup of pumpkin puree. Make sure you get the 100% pumpkin. It’s full vitamin C and Beta Carotene. The flavors of the chipotle and pumpkin are a killer taste combination.
You can easily adjust the spiciness level by adding more or less chili powder and paprika. The spicier the better for me!
What are some toppings that pair well with the Pumpkin Chipotle Chili?
-Sour cream or Greek Yogurt
-Shredded Cheese
-Cilantro
-jalapeños
What can I pair with Pumpkin Chipotle Chili?
-White rice, brown rice or any whole grain
-Pile on top of a baked potato or sweet potato
-Spaghetti Squash
-Tacos
Hope this gives you some great ideas on how you can create a number of meals from one pot of this delish Pumpkin Chipotle Chili. Who is ready for a bowl?
A smokey and sweet hearty vegan Pumpkin Chipotle chili that hits all of the taste buttons. Easy, GF, high protein and easy to customize to your family's tastes This pumpkin chipotle chili can be adapted to any meal style. Vegan beef can be replaced with ground turkey or ground beef or pork. Anything works!

I’ve used squash in chili before but never pumpkin! I bet it tastes great. Chipotle makes everything better!
The pumpkin is a nice change of pace hope you enjoy it
This looks amazing! I love Beyond Beef but for some reason haven’t tried it in chili before. The pumpkin is a brilliant addition!
Thanks I know you are going to love it!
Wow this looks promising and healthy! Good for health buffs 😍
Thanks so much hope you give it a try sometime
Adding chilis in adobo sauce to chili is genius! No idea why I never thought of that before. Does it taste like pumpkin or does that just help to thicken the dish?
If you want a stronger pumpkin taste you can add the whole 15 oz can instead of just 1 Cup. Extra vitamin C!
I don’t cook much, but I’m going to make an exception in this case. You had me at pumpkin…and vegan (and everything else…lol). Bring on all things pumpkin. It’s time!!
fantastic! I really hope you enjoy it
This sounds awesome! I bet the pumpkin gives it a nice sweet contrast to the “heat” from the other seasonings. Gonna give this a try!
Yes exactly! You can use any type of protein you wish. super easy
Was just thinking about making pumpkin chili! I also like to use fire roasted tomatoes but have never added chiles in Adobo sauce so we’ll have to try adding some to our next batch!
I really think the chiles give a great smokey flavor
YUM! I was literally just thinking today that I wanted to make chili soon. Perfect timing with a great sounding recipe!
Thanks so much hope you find it yummy
Oh this looks like a tasty recipe, even my toddler and husband may love it! Thanks for creating this!
thanks and you can definitely adjust the heat level to appeal to everyone
I love anything with pumpkin so I definitely need to give this a go! It sounds delicious!
Thanks so much mimi!
Great idea. I love pumpkin, but new ways of preparing it are welcome. Chilli is also one of my favorites and I love that instant Mexican flavor you get from Chipotle.
So yeah, I am going to try this.
Fantastic really hope you enjoy it
This looks like exactly my kind of recipe! So yummy! Pumpkin is so healthy.
Great! Hope you enjoy
Looks amazing. My wife and I were only just talking about needing more meat free recipe ideas. I’ll def give this a go.
Fantastic! Thanks
I have never gone the pumpkin chili route. I’ve done the sweet potato and black bean combo (and it was delicious), but this might be worth a go.
I think it’s a great change of taste with lots of flavor
What a perfect dish for Fall! I love the combination of all the different flavors.
Thanks so much!
You made great use of some amazing fall flavors! This looks so filling and delicious!
thanks so much one of my favorites for sure
Yum, this chili sounds perfect! I love the idea of adding pumpkin into the mix, and I’m saving this recipe to try it soon! I’m using Beyond Meat crumbles for tacos tonight.
Great hope you enjoy. I am loving the Beyond Meat for everything
