I’m not a Seahawks fan or a Broncos fan, but on Superbowl Sunday I always root for the underdog, so I was glad to see the Seahawks get their first Superbowl victory. But above all, I root mostly for the Superbowl food! So on Superbowl Sunday I made a killer chili. It was flavorful, slightly spicy, healthy, and addicting. Enjoy!
Step 1: ingredients (pinto beans, diced tomatoes, ground turkey, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, honey, chicken broth, tequila, lime, habanero and jalapeño peppers)
Step 2: Prep- Process 1/2 the beans and diced tomatoes in food processor, chop onion, garlic, and peppers
Step 3: heat turkey, onions, garlic, peppers, add Tequila!
Step 4: Stir in Chicken Broth, processed bean/tomato mixture, remaining tomatoes, see you in 20 minutes
Step 5: stir on Lime Zest and Lime Juice (and more tequila)
Step 6 last step: Garnish w avocado, shredded pepper jack cheese, sour cream, lime, and more tequila! Enjoy!
