I wanted to make a healthier chili, so I used my basic recipe here and changed out some ingredients. I was worried about the sweet potatoes getting soggy, but they were perfectly cooked through and kept their shape. Ground turkey replaces beef, and brown rice and yams are added. IMG_1215This hearty, flavorful chili was devoured by husband & little girls alike! Ada liked the sweet potatoes but Lola did not. I’m sure she’ll warm up to them one day like I did :) The rice absorbs quite a bit of the liquid after being refrigerated, so it wouldn’t be as soupy the next time around. If you’re planning on freezing it, I would add the rice and sweet potatoes after thawing. Everything else should freeze well. It makes a ton of chili! We ate it topped with avocados, cilantro, and lime. We ate the leftovers burrito-style, wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla with cheese, cilantro, and ranch dressing. IMG_1237It also made an appearance in lunch today, sandwiched in between chips & cheese for some crazy delicious nachos! I told you it makes a ton :)photo (3)
