Recipe Notes

I like to top this chili with shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices and a few tortilla chips.
The Greek yogurt is a much healthier, lower fat option than sour cream and cream cheese, and I promise it still tastes absolutely delicious - even my husband approves :)
If you don't have all the seasonings, you can use one packet of chili seasoning mix.
And last but not least, when I have the time, I crush my own fresh organic tomatoes instead of using canned, and I season them with a little olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
