Perfect for a party! Just leave the chili pot over low heat and offer a variety of toppings on the side to garnish in whatever way suits your style: fresh cilantro leaves, sliced scallions, reduced-fat sour cream, low-fat shredded Cheddar, sliced black olives and chopped fresh jalapeños. You can also serve this chili over rice, a bed of shredded cabbage, or cauliflower rice if you wish. Or make use as you would taco meat in a wrap: Just spoon it on a tortilla or in an iceberg lettuce leaf using a slotted spoon. Top with your choice of toppings and fold it or roll it to enjoy with no utensils required.
