Clean Baked Beans w/ quinoa flour chips

Hello all! Football season (NFL that is) is thankfully starting this Sunday! So what better way to celebrate than baked beans and chips, and not only are they just baked beans and chips but they are clean and gluten free!! This baked bean recipe, created by mom, is by far the best bean recipe I have ever had in my life and the fact that its healthy is an extra bonus! The chips are actually an adaption of quinoa flour tortilla's that we just cut to chip size and bake in the oven! So get ready folks, for a warm bowl of baked beans with chips, watching your favorite football team! GO FALCONS!!
Enjoy!
