The weather is cooling off this week and I am thinking about soup, stew and chili. Unfortunately, my pantry is missing some of the staple ingredients for my favorites. So, I had to get a little creative. It did not hurt that I had some things needing to be used up buried in my freezer.
Topped with cheese, sour cream and a squeeze of lime, the results were superb!
