Dinner: Black-Bean Turkey Chili

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound lean ground turkey (white meat only)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon New Mexico chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
One 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
4 corn tortillas

Instructions

In a saucepan, heat the oil. Add the turkey, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, breaking up the meat, until white throughout, 4 minutes. Add the garlic, onion, chile powders and the cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce and 1 cup of water; bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 45 minutes. Add the beans and simmer for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, light a grill or heat a grill pan. Grill the tortillas over moderate heat until soft, 30 seconds per side; wrap in a towel.
Season the chili with salt and pepper and serve with the grilled tortillas.
