Gluten free Chili Lime Burrito

Good afternoon world! For lunch I made chili with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Check to be sure all your ingredients are gluten free if that is important to your health, if not, don't worry be happy. This is not an induction friendly recipe but it could be easily, just switch out the peas with some diced celery. Also, instead of garbanzo beans you could go with chopped bell pepper. Peppers are a berry and do have some carbs in them but are not a legume so I think you can have 1/2 to 1 cup of those a day and still be in the realm of a low carb diet. You can use this simple, easily adaptable base over brown rice, stir fried vegetables, or roasted squash. The great part is that it warms up very well.
