Southwestern Style Chili

I’ve been loving this warm and healthy winter recipe! I think the southwestern style really does it for me! I’m not typically a chili fan but to be honest I’ve loved this and especially love all of the toppings! My favorite toppings include: greek yogurt, avocado, cilantro and cheddar cheese! You can pick whichever ones you think go best! But, if you are like me and the weather continues to be cold and dreary, this will brighten your day! Enjoy it with family and friends or just warm up some left overs on your own!!!! You can use any ground meat but I’m in love with the ground turkey I’m getting from sprouts! I can’t wait to hear how it goes!
