The raisins are optional, I prefer not to add them in, the mixture is just as good without them! You can use ground beef or pork in place of the chicken or turkey. This is a great weekend snack to serve while watching sports, or to serve at a small get together. For less heat adjust the jalapeno peppers and dried chili flakes to taste, we like extreme spice so I use 2 large jalapenos and about 1 tablespoon of dried chili flakes! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
8 -10 ounces ground chicken or 8 -10 ounces ground turkey |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic |
2 teaspoons dried chili pepper flakes (or to taste) |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1/2-1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped |
2 teaspoons flour |
2 -3 teaspoons chili powder (can use more to taste) |
4 tablespoons raisins (optional) |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained |
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained (or use any small beans) |
seasoning salt (or use white salt) |
black pepper |
tortilla chips (i use about 35 chips, you can use more!) |
1 -2 cup prepared salsa |
2 cups old cheddar cheese (or use a mexi-blend cheese, can use more) |
sour cream |
