This was tonight's dinner. I added a jalapeno and I used 
some of Chip's chili powder instead of the supermarket 
variety. Came out delicious. I also added some of Jim C's 
Chipotle Sauce at the table. Was really good. Also, 
garnished with chopped cilantro, fat-free sour cream and 
some salsa. Great meal:

NOTES : Original recipe called for regular oregano and 
basic supermarket chili powder. I used some from a 
chile-head friend of mine that was medium in heat. That 
is what I put in the recipe. You can use what you have.
