[NEW] Tequila White And Green Chili

A chili with cauliflower and tomatillos served over baked sweet potatoes?  You've got to try it. The tequila and lime zest add that something that other vegetarian chilis will be jealous of. Tip: If tomatillos are expensive or hard to source in your area, you can substitute Roma tomatoes.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and place on the bottom rack of the oven until tender.

Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt. Add both to top rack of oven and roast until cauliflower is brown and tomatillos are reduced to sauce (35-45 minutes).

  5. Add roasted vegetables and garlic (don't add sweet potatoes), zest, tequila, and beans and cook until heated through (5-10 minutes). Pour over baked sweet potatoes and garnish with cilantro to serve.
