Chorizo and Turkey Chili


This recipe is super spicy! The fritos, sour cream and chedder cheese definitely help subdue the heat. You could also substitute the Fritos with Whole Wheat Tostitos, the sour cream for the fat free version or the tofutti brand and lastly the chedder cheese for a low fat kind or veggie cheese.


Ingredients:
3/4 pound chorizo, dried and casing removed
1 package ground turkey
3 tablespoons chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bottle beer (Negra Modelo)
1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes (can be found in organic section of Publix)
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Optional: serve with Fritos, chedder cheese and sour cream

Preparation:
1. Cut the chorizo into slices and then quarter the slices.

2. Heat a pot over medium high heat and brown the chorizo. Its fat will be released. After a few minutes, remove the chorizo and dump out excess grease. Add the ground turkey to the pot, and top with the three spices. With a spoon, combine the ingredients and break the turkey into pieces. Brown for 5 minutes.

3.Add the bottle of beer. Allow some of the liquid to evaporate, cook for 2 minutes.

4. Add the tomatoes and the beef broth. Cook on medium high for 5-10 minutes then reduce the temperature to low. Add the tomato paste and simmer for an hour on low heat to evaporate the liquid and let the chili become chunky.

5. Cover the bottom of the bowl with tostitos, top with chili then the chedder and a dollop of sour cream.
