For an even richer flavor, toast the chili powder in a dry pan for a minute before adding it to the slow cooker. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. Garnish with a dollop of vegan sour cream, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro before serving.
