Ingredients:


  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • 1 onion (diced)

  • 4 cloves garlic (chopped)

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 2 (4.5 ounce) cans chopped green chilies

  • 2 jalapeno peppers (diced)

  • 2 (19 ounce) cans northern beans (drained )

  • 2 cups chicken stock (more if needed to thin stew)

  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 3 cups chicken (cooked and shredded)

  • 2 tablespoon masa

  • 1/2 cup milk or half and half (I used half and half)

  • 1/2 teaspoon Tapatio sauce



Toppings:


  • Monterey Jack Cheese or White Cheddar-grated

  • Avocado-sliced

  • Sour Cream

  • Sliced Jalapenos

  • Cilantro-rough chopped




Directions:


  1. Heat the oil in a pan.

  2. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Add the garlic and jalapeno and saute until soft, about 3 minutes.

  4. Add the cumin, green chilies, beans, chicken stock, oregano, salt and pepper.

  5. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.( I prepared the stew to this point and refrigerated overnight so flavors would marry.)

  6. Add the chicken. Mix the masa into the milk or half and half and then mix it into the chili and simmer for another 10 minutes or until heated through.

  7. Serve with desired toppings.
