Here is a spicy chili that can be made in 10 minutes. We call it rainbow because it uses red onions, yellow peppers, red tomatoes, and green avocado giving it a lot of fun and enticing color for hungry tummies!
Cook modePrevent screen from turning off
Ingredients
1 red onion, diced and divided into 2 parts (one for cooking, one for garnishing)
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno diced
1 tsp olive oil
1 can pinto beans, low sodium, drained
1 can kidney beans, low sodium drained
1 can diced tomatoes no added salt, with juice
1 can crushed tomatoes no added salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder (we love Ancho but use your favorite)
Garnish (1/2 red onion from above, 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt, 1 avocado) divide these between the bowls of chili
Instructions
Saute the diced onion and peppers in the olive oil until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes, over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook while breaking up with a spatula. Cook briefly for a few minutes.
Add the canned beans and tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil and lower heat to medium.
Add the seasonings.
Cook for 10 minutes or until the turkey is cooked.
Serve into bowls topped with the garnishes.
