• turkey and black bean chili.

  hail fatnation. i cooked up the most delicious AND healthy chili the other day. all in less than thirty minutes. (rachel ray eat your heart out).. recipe is a tad bit modified from the original one i had discovered.. this is extremely easy to make. the whole pot of chili equals to less than 1700 calories. makes eight servings.. so we’re looking at a little over 200 calories per bowl.. and believe me, you can’t even tell. can’t beat that. it’s also very inexpensive to make.. altogether, the ingredients came out to a little over ten bucks. turkey and black bean chili. ingredients: 1 pound of ground turkey breast. 1 can (28 oz) of tomatoes, undrained (make sure to get the diced ones.) 1 jar (16 oz) of thick and chunky salsa. 2 cans (15 oz each) of black beans, rinse and drain these. 2 tbsp. of chili powder. 1 onion, diced. 1 bell pepper, diced. 1 tbsp. of crushed garlic. (add whatever other vegetables you’d like..) in a pot, drizzle a little olive oil to prevent the meat from sticking. cook until it’s no longer pink, stir frequently. add the remaining ingredients, mix, and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. let it simmer.. stir occasionally.. and wa-la! can you see the smoke rising? mmm. cook baby, cook. damn, the pot looks messy. tomorrows lunch. (the last of it ).. i love those ziploc containers. muhah. damn, this looks messy.. too. =X and last, but not least.. add like half of a can (or the whole thing) of these bad boys in there for those of you who need some spice with it. chi chi’s jalapenos.. hah.. chi chi’s.. sounds like.. nevermind.. i forgot to buy saltine crackers so i crushed in a few ritz whole wheat ones. whatever works. hope you enjoy. =] Brought to you by: eeleigna
