Faithful Recipes~

Faithful recipes that everyone in the family likes,

turn out well,

and are easy to make~

Those are KEEPERS!

Not every recipe I make meets the above,

but this one does~

Chicken Salsa Chili

(from my good friend, Cheryl)

Saute in olive oil:

1 lb. chicken

3 cloves garlic, pressed

1-2 tsp. each of chili powder, cumin, & oregano

Add:

1/2 c. vinegar

1 onion, chopped

Add:

2-3 cups pinto beans

2-3 cups kidney beans

2 bell peppers, chopped

1-2 large cans diced tomatoes

 (I use ones I put up and usually add around 2-4 cups)

1 c. cilantro, chopped (or 1 tsp. dried oregano)

Spice to taste with jalapenos (2-4), tabasco (2-4 TB.), salt (1 tsp.),

chili powder (2-3 tsp.), and cumin (1-2 tsp.)

Simmer at least 30 minutes.  

Serve with cheese, sour cream, chips, salsa, and avocado for toppings :)

This recipe is very flexible~

Yesterday I had roasted a chicken and just used that, shredded.

I was out of cilantro (which we do like in it), but it still turned

out fine.  You can adjust the beans & spices to your family's liking

easily.  

This recipe doubles well, too~
