    This is great as a messy burrito. The measurements are not precise, but it always turns out delicious. It is one of children's most requested meals.

    Ingredients

    • 1-2 lbs.ground turkey
    • 1 yellow or white chopped onion
    • 1-2 chili peppers OR 1 4oz can diced green chillies
    • 1 8oz can tomato sauce
    • 1-2 large squirts ketchup
    • 2-5 TBLS chili powder
    • 3 cans beans (kidney, black or whatever is handy)
    • 3-4 mini Hershey bars (or whatever chocolate you have handy)
    • flour tortillas
    • grated cheese
    • chopped lettuce
    • chopped tomatoes
    • chopped green onions

    Directions

    1. Over medium-high heat, brown turkey in a heavy pot (I usually use a Dutch oven) with onions and chilies
    2. Drain fat
    3. Add chili powder - mix well
    4. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, beans and chocolate
    5. Turn down heat to low and let simmer for about 45 minutes - stirring often
    6. As the chili is simmering, grate cheese, cut lettuce, tomatoes and green onions
    7. Warm tortillas
    8. Assemble burritos with chili and any garnishes you choose
