Healthy Mexican Chili

I was checking out Bethenny Frankel's website via a link on Facebook. She is such a pistol you have to love her. I came across this recipe for Ultra Healthy Mexican Chili that looked yummy and gave it a try.

I swapped some of the ingredients and was delighted with the results. You can find the original recipe here. If you are not a fan of cumin, don't worry it lends a nice flavour which isn't necessarily detectable that it is cumin. I was able to prepare this in less then 10 minutes. After cooking it for 20 minutes I served it with brown rice and lemon garlic Rapini  for a wholesome and tasty dinner.
