  • ‘Miracle Rice’, Bean, and Vegetable chilli
Serve the chilli with a salad for lunch, or with scrambled eggs and baked tortilla chips for brunch. Or serve on it’s own with toppings like crumbled goat cheese, diced avocado, plain yogurt, and salsa. Maybe buy pickled carrots from a taco stand or jicama sticks from a salad bar. Use all-purpose chilli powder like Spice Islands; substitute green pepper for the red, or crookneck squash for the zucchini. Or throw in some diced cooked chicken. It’s just an easy, satisfying dish.
