Silly Chili
- 8 (5-inch) corn tortillas
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 (15-ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans no-salt-added stewed tomatoes, undrained
- 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) finely shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- Cut eye and mouth shapes from each tortilla to make funny faces; discard cutout pieces. Place tortillas on a baking sheet; bake at 450u0b0 for 4 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Cook meat in a Dutch oven over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble; drain. Wipe drippings from pan with a paper towel; return meat to pan. Add water, chili powder, salt, and beans; set aside.
- Place stewed tomatoes in a food processor; process 10 seconds or until pureed. Stir into meat mixture; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer an additional 35 minutes.
- Spoon 3/4 cup chili into each of 8 shallow bowls. Top each with a tortilla; add 1 tomato half for "nose," and arrange cheese evenly on tortillas for "hair."
