Every time people think of chili, many of us think of the chili that's loaded with fat. There's also some very tasty, meatless chili recipes, that are low in fat.
Here's a two bean chili and avocado dish that I'm sure some of you will love, minus all the fat that comes along with a traditional bowl of chili.
Ingredients;
1 large onion, chopped
2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
2 tsp. olive oil
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 15-can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 15-oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp of cumin
Sea salt and pepper to taste
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
In a large saucepan cook onion and oregano in hot oil over medium- high heat for 3 minutes, or until tender. Stir in undrained tomatoes, beans, spices, salt and pepper and salsa. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 25 minutes. To serve, top with avocado and snipped cilantro.

Hello Olivia Eva,
ReplyDeleteThank you I thought it would be very fitting for this time of year, since I have tons of black berries in my yard right now!
Thank you! I'm sure your enjoying your new start in South France!

Hello Lydia I love avocados and I used to grow lots of black berries and rasberries too! Black berries are one of my favorite foods. Tnx for the recipe! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHello Jamerson,
ReplyDeleteI love the Hass Avocado, but I heard on the radio that Mexico fertilizes them with human biparts, I don't really know what that means, but it sounds gross, so I switched to the green avocado, even though I like the hass better.
Blackberries are so good! I snack on them every night.
Soon my apricots will be ripe too!
Have a great weekend!
Lydia

ReplyDeleteOver here the hedges are also full of black berries; I love pîcking them while taking walks.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you, dear Lydia.
Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! I've been putting them in my salads with olive oil and balsamic vinegar! It gives the salad a nice change of flavor!
