I adapted this from a community book I found at the flea market. It came out ok. All I had was ground turkey and a can of black soybeans (which I prefer - they don't do as much of a number on my poor system). I added some ancho chile as it doesn't bother Trevor (the only non-chile head in the house). Steve & I put some of John T's Manzano Salsa (yes, John I still have some) on it with the sour cream and some cilantro. Mmmmm...

NOTES : Risa's notes:
* I used Garlic Cheddar but if you can't get that flavor, use any type of cheddar or monterey jack you
like.
Original recipe was a stovetop recipe. It used ground beef or chuck and also included 1 beef bouillion cube
and kidney beans. It used regular oregano too and did not include ancho chile, that was my addition. If you
like things really hot, use a hotter chili such as serrano, jalapeno OR even hotter, a habanero. Original
was served with saltine crackers.
