SWEET POTATO CHILI:

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup black beans
* 3-4oz peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
* 2 cloves minced garlic
* 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
* 1/2 cup lower-sodium chicken broth
* 3 oz cooked cubed chicken breast or turkey breast
* 1 tsp ground cumin
* 1/2 tbs chili powder
* dash chipotle chili powder (to taste)
* 1/4 cup frozen corn

Directions:

Peel and dice sweet potatoes. Coat and toss with Pam cooking spray. Spread evenly on a cookie sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and let cool.

Coat large pan with cooking spray and add thinly sliced or diced onion. Saute until it starts to brown. Add garlic and all seasonings. Cook for 3 minutes or until it becomes fragrant.

Rinse and drain kidney beans. Pour about 1/2 of kidney beans in the blender and puree.

Add all remaining ingredients to pan with grilled onions - including pureed beans, remaining whole beans, cubed chicken, and baked sweet potatoes. Heat to boiling while stirring. Then turn heat to low and simmer covered for 30 minutes.

Add a dollop of Greek Yogurt to each serving if desired.

TILAPIA SOYBEAN TACOS

Ingredients:
1 lb tilapia filets (I buy them frozen from Costco)
1 t chili powder
1 c cooked black soybeans or black turtle beans (I used canned black beans because I have them in storage)
1 small chopped tomato
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 T chopped cilantro
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded, and finely chopped
1 minced garlic clove
Juice from lime
Kosher Salt (or Mrs. Dash)
4 low-carb tortillas

Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with foil.

Pat tilapia filets with paper towel til dry and place on foil sheet. Dust both sides of filets with chili powder. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

While fish is in oven, mix beans, tomato, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, garlic, lime juice, and salt in bowl. Stir to combine.

Warm tortillas in microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.

When the fish is done, divide fish and topping between them evenly.
