Mexi Dish



Yummy Chili, or use the seasoning combination for tacos, enchiladas, or fajitas. James and I don't like things really hot, so feel free to add additional Chili Powder or actual hot peppers to increase the kick!
Mexi Dish
1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
--sometimes I add other veggies if I have them or I'll use frozen veggies (I've even used canned green beans or corn too)
1 large can crushed tomatoes (use only diced tomatoes when you want less sauce and more chunkiness!)
1 large can diced tomatoes (Furmano's has a yummy cilantro and lime diced canned tomato)
Seasonings:
2 tsp Chili Powder
1 Tb Cumin
1 tsp Mustard Powder
1 Tb Oregano
1 tsp Garlic
1/2 tsp Salt

Fresh Cilantro (optional)
Lime Juice - about 1/4 of a lime squeezed or 1/2 tsp lemon juice


Additional items for toppings:
8 oz cheese, shredded (we like sharp cheddar or monterey jack)
1 tsp sour cream per person
freshly made guacamole
fresh chopped veggies: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers
open a can of salsa if you'd rather not make your own!
     1. Brown meat, add diced veggies, cooking until tender
     2. Add tomatoes and seasonings, letting them boil, then simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally
     3. Eat with rice, tortilla chips, over tacos, in corn tortillas, etc.
     4. Top with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and fresh chopped veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers
