Substitute lean ground beef for the chicken. Omit oil. Brown meat and drain before adding peppers.

Food Facts

Chili powder is a powdered seasoning mix that is available in the spice aisle of your grocery store. Despite the name, it's not hot and spicy, but it does add lots of Tex-Mex flavour.

I used scoobi-doo pasta instead, and I added a little extra dressing and some hot sauce. Very tasty.

We like to add a can of diced tomatoes (drained) and a cup of frozen corn. It has become a family favourite!

Loved this recipe. I like it sauce so doubled the salsa and added a little more sour cream too.

I used precooked chicken. Then I steam 1 chopped onion, 1 zucchini thickly sliced on bias and the red peppers cut into large chunks with a 1/4 cup of chicken broth in a fry pay. I DO NOT USE ANY OIL. There is some in the salad dressing. I also use no fat sour cream. I add 1/4 cup more cheese. I also toss in the end 1 full head of roasted garlic cloves which I always have on hand. Makes a really tasty dinner.

So good I actually ended up making it twice in one week! The whole family loves it, even my picky eight year old.
