easy to prepare and will keep you out of the heat and into the swim of things. You can
substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. For those that are vegetarians,
tofu cut into small chunks will work well too. Hasta luega !

add 1/2 cup chili sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4
teaspoon Tabasco sauce when adding water.
What you do:
- In large skillet, brown ground beef and onion; drain. Stir
in dry taco seasoning mix and water; simmer 10 minutes over low heat.

Comments
 Meatless Variation
From: Danielle
Koenig
we love this dish, only we have a slight variation:
We use drained red beans and no meat. We mix the salad, crumples of chips,
beans, cheese, olives (and peppers if you want em) together with low- or no-fat catalina
dressing. It's delicious! My kids love to roll this in a tortilla for a
forkless salad!
Turkey Chili
This recipe is sure to be a hit in your
family. Turkey chili is hearty enough for the coldest winter day yet low enough in
fat where you can enjoy it too. My hubby loves chili and can't tell the difference
between this satisfying dish and the "other" chili. Topped with fat free
sour cream, shredded low fat cheddar cheese, and chopped scallions this is a delicious
dinner.
Newkirk Family New Mexican Red Chili
This recipe comes from Dolores Newkirk, who says, "This recipe
has been in our family for many years....it has been a family basic. In New Mexico,
we consider RED CHILE a staple like most people eat bread with there meals.
Chile, goes with everything, side dish or the main dish. My dad still makes
the very best Red Chile! My Abuelita(grandma) who is 95 years young in November
makes hers with dried venison meat or elk! It is beyond awesome....My mom and dad's
families both originated from Spain and settled in what was then Mexico, now New
Mexico. Chile, is like having water at every meal. Without it, there is no
flavor or taste...
Sue's Low-Fat Refried Black Beans
 This
week's recipe of the week features Sue's Low-Fat Refried Black beans. This dish is
simple to prepare and is actually very low in fat, but don't tell your family- they won't
notice the difference. It can be an important part of a heart health program.
You can serve these beans with tacos, a green salad or by adding shredded lettuce, diced
tomatoes, shredded cheese and a dollop of fat-free sour cream it is a meal in itself. |
