What to have for dinner on a chilly day? Chili - make it out of whatever you have around!

🌶🥣🌶

My go to’s are turkey or chicken chili, sweet potato veggie chili, Cincinnati beef chili and occasionally a lentil chili - all so good! I sneak liver into meat-based chili recipes for some of my clients on nutrient-dense food protocols and, believe it or not, it really tastes delicious. Try leftover chili topped with a poached egg - put it over a tortilla and you’ve got an unconventional but tasty and super easy huevos rancheros.

We like simple quesdadillas with our chili, just some good sharp cheddar (or your favorite dairy-free cheese) melted inside pan roasted @foodforlifebaking sprouted corn tortillas or @sietefoods cassava flour tortillas.

To get that nice char on your quesadillas use a dry skillet. You can do a few at a time in a large skillet. Heat it first till it’s quite hot.  Add tortilla, top with cheese - not too much or it will melt out the sides - top with a second tortilla. When the bottom tortilla is nicely browned gently flip and let the second side get its char on, and serve!
