My motivation for this Heart Healthy Turkey & Sweet Potato Southwest Chili was to deliver a flavor packed hearty chili.
You know the kind even your manly man will eat. But packed full of nutrients without extra calories.
Because let’s face it, most of us don’t need empty calories and are perfectly happy as long as we’re satisfied. This chili is definitely satisfying.

When I say Loaded Chicken Burrito Bowl, I mean find your biggest serving bowl and prepare to make your family oh so happy.
Imagine you are behind the counter at Chipotle building the burrito bowl of your dreams with all your favorite toppings.
That’s what we’re doing, but in your kitchen, no shoes or shirts required.

The key to bringing big flavor to these Southwest Vegetarian Tacos is to oven roast the veggies.
Virtually any vegetables will work in these tacos, but I love sweet potato, onion and zucchini as my base – I added corn and jalapeño to give it a nice Southwest flavor flare.
