Dinner

Packed with veggies and loaded with fiber and flavor, you'll hardly miss the meat or the fat of traditional chili. Cocoa powder adds a deep rich color and depth of flavor, not to mention an extra antioxidant punch! My family has a preference for black and pinto beans, but any other types will work just as well. Keep in mind it will slightly change the fiber content. I used what veggies I happened to have on hand, but many others would work well here also. We've added or substituted diced zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms for the carrots...all with great success. A very filling and satisfying dish that even my kids and husband love! Goes great with a dollop of lowfat sourcream and a sprinkling of chopped scallions. Serve with cornbread and a salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
