Notes
Note on chili: I prefer to use our homemade chili (usually leftover) in this dish. You can also use purchased; when I don’t have homemade on hand, I like to use 1 can of Whole Foods organic turkey chili.
Gluten Free: If using purchased chili, check the ingredients to confirm there is no gluten.
