• Check for seasonings, adding more ground cumin, salt or jalapeno to your taste.

• The jicama will stay crunchy, adding a bit of texture to the soup.
• Top with low fat cheddar or mexican cheese blend if desired.
• Excellent if served with cheese quesadillas.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef, 1 T of the chili powder, and cayenne. Cook, stirring to break up the pieces, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a plate.
• Add pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, and remaining chili powder to same saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and their juices, black beans, pinto beans, and tomato sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover, add cooked beef, and cook over medium heat until chili thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Pound the chicken pieces to flatten them slightly. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat an empty pan on high heat, then add the oil and one tablespoon of the margarine and allow that to get hot (but not smoking). Then carefully add the chicken, making sure the oil doesn't splatter. Doing this process will prevent the chicken from sticking. If you heat the oil and pan together, or if the pan isn't hot enough, the chicken will stick.
• Sauté the chicken pieces for 1 minute on each side, or until they are cooked through. Transfer the chicken with tongs to a platter and cover it loosely to keep it warm.
• Pour off any remaining fat and oil from the skillet.
• Return it to the stovetop and add the remaining 1 tablespoon margarine, the sherry, and the lemon juice, and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Stir in the capers, the parsley, the paprika, and salt and pepper to taste, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.

Steps:

• Brown beef and diced onion. Drain off grease. Add other ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for at least 15 min. Can also make in crockpot on low for hours.
