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.
