- Winter squash adds color and a seasonal twist to this warming chili.
- MEAL PLAN: Wrap flour tortillas, left over from the soft tacos, in foil and hot in the oven or possibly toaster oven. Cut into wedges to serve with the chili.
- Use the remaining vegetables to make a bountiful tossed salad. If you like, top the chili with shredded cheese.
- Cut each squash in half, scoop out seeds, and place in a microwave-safe container with 1/4 inch of water. Cover and microwave till tender, allowing 2 to 3 min per squash half. Remove squash and let cold, then peel and cut into chunks.
- In large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add in onion and cook, stirring often, till soft, about 5 min. Add in remaining ingredients except squash and salt and mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently 15 min. Stir in squash and season to taste with salt. Serve hot.
