RED CHICKEN CHILI OVERVIEW

You know we’re originally from Los Angeles, and when we think of chili, we think of the meaty type.  That’s what we were missing.  The kind where they have Chili Cheeseburgers from Tommy’s Restaurants or even the Chili Hot Dogs that you’ll get from Pink’s in Los Angeles.

Living in Albuquerque, you’ll notice that chili isn’t the same “meaty chili” here.  All the restaurants and fast food chains mainly serve the “red” or “green chile”.  (The one’s that are hot and spicy that comes from chiles.)  Just wanted to clarify that there is a difference and you’ll need to explain yourselves when ordering and using the word, “chili” vs. “chile” if you ever visit New Mexico.

So, I thought I would just rekindle the fond memories of having that meaty type of chili and create my own version of Red Chicken Chile!

THE CHILI BREAKDOWN

  • Shredded Chicken – Protein!
  • Hormel Turkey Chili Fat Free –  Canned pantry goods
  • Frozen Corn – Lasts for a while!
  • Red Kidney Beans – Get Your Fiber, Tootz!

HOW LONG DOES IT LASTS?

This chili will lasts up to 3 days in the fridge in a sealed container or a couple of months in the freezer.  

CAN THIS BE A DIP?

Absolutely! Go ahead and dunk those tortilla chips just like what I’ve done.

DIET TRENDSETTERS SUBSTITUTIONS

If you have any dietary concerns, follow what is best for you.  Read the nutrition labels.  These are just some suggestions to keep in mind.

GO MEATLESS – Use Textured Meat,  Soy Curls, Meatless Crumbles

KETO / PALEO / LOW CARB – Don’t add the beans and use sugar free BBQ Sauce

LOW SALT / SODIUM – Don’t add salt. Use salt substitutes or other herbs and spices for more flavoring.  Make sure you use low sodium as some canned foods contain a high amount of sodium to preserved their products.
