Nutrient-rich bulgur replaces the beef in this delicious chili. It has a slightly chewy texture that is quite similar to ground beef. Serve with hot sauce, avocado slices, reduced-fat shredded cheese or light sour cream if it suits your plan. This is also tasty ladled over a bed of sturdy greens like baby kale or arugula and topped with a crumbling of tortilla chips or toasted pepitas for crunch as a lighter spin on taco salad.
