  • Add the tomatoes and carrots and let the tomatoes cook down until soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the beans and the quinoa to the pot along with 1 ½ cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover the chili, and let it cook 45 minutes or until  thick. Add water as necessary if it starts to get very thick during cooking.
  • Add salt to taste and turn off heat.

Make the cheezy horseradish sauce:

  • Place all ingredients in the blender and blend until very smooth.

Assemble the chili fries:

  • Place the baked fries in a bowl or a dish, drizzle over with the chili, and then the cheezy horseradish sauce. Garnish, if you wish, with some cilantro leaves. Serve.
