My recipe uses ground turkey, but you could easily use tofu, or just stick with the veggies and beans. So good! Joel and I were fighting over who got the leftovers for lunches. And for a man who doesnt like leftovers, that says a lot. He took leftover zucchini lasagna today, too.
Brown 1lb ground turkey with onion and garlic (can use powders, not salts, if you dont have any of either). I used 1 Tbsp onion powder and 3/4Tbsp minced garlic. I also added about 1 Tbsp chili powder and 1/2 packet of taco seasoning.
While browning add 1-2 celery stalks chopped, 1 bell pepper (I used yellow) chopped, large handful of kale chopped (about 1-2cups), 1/2-1 zucchini chopped, and any other veggies you love or have on hand.
When meat is brown, add 1 can tomatoes and chilis (rotels) and let bubble. I also added some black pepper and chopped jalepeno. Dont add too much unless you like spicy. I add some (about 1Tbsp of chopped jalepeno) for flavor, but add more jalepeno to my bowl or the chili is too hot for the kids.
After about a minute of simmering, add 1 can rinsed kidney beans and 1 can rinsed black beans (you can easily add more or beans you like, this is what I used).
After 3-5 minutes of a low boil you are all set. We like it with tortilla chips or saltines and topped with jalepeno and grated cheese.
Sorry no photo -- was eaten too fast.
