Chili is a meal that is relatively easy to make gluten free. Some recipes call for chicken or beef broth, which may be the only ingredient that has the potential of containing gluten. This recipe is very simple and can be changed up to add your own favourite vegetables. You can also adjust the spice through the type of salsa you add.
Ingredients – Serves 6
- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- bunch of green onions, chopped
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped zucchini

- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

- Reduce heat to low and simmer for an hour
