Our secret to an incredibly tasty, healthy version of this comfort-food favourite? The smoky flavour of chipotle peppers.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef, pork or turkey

  • 4 garlic cloves

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tbsp dried oregano leaves

  • 3 chipotles in adobo sauce

  • 1 green or red bell pepper

  • 1 large onion

  • 540-ml can white kidney or navy beans, drained and rinsed

  • 796-ml can diced tomatoes, preferably without added salt

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions

  • COAT a large pot with vegetable oil and set over medium-high heat. Add meat, garlic, chili powder and oregano. Stir frequently with a fork to break meat up, and cook until no pink remains, from 5 to 7 min. Meanwhile, finely chop chipotles and chop pepper and onion. Once meat is cooked, stir in all other ingredients.

  • BRING to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and flavours have developed, 25 to 40 min. Great served with a dollop of plain low-fat yogourt and chopped chives.
