Place the pricked all over potato in the oven. Quickly sauté up the chili beans and veggies. While they are hanging out and searing, toss the ingredients in a blender for the Chipotle Cream. To serve, squeeze open the baked potato, top with the Chili Bean Saute and as much Chipotle Cream is you like.
The potato seems to be a controversial vegetable. Some consider it nutritious and balanced and on the other extreme, it is viewed as high in the simple carbohydrates that everyone should run and hide from. But, then there is the easy baked potato wrapped in a nutrient packed skin and free of frying oil, creamy sauces, or other additives. Of course, most of us get in trouble with the toppings, right? We hope to inspire new seasonal decorations for your Baked Potato throughout the year. And now, here is the simple way to prepare them.
Ingredients from a comforting bowl of chili are made into a quick saute that is on the table in a flash. This is great on top of something starchy such as rice, grits, polenta or even a pile of Lime Sweet Potatoes. Extra protein such as a sprinkle of cheese or your favorite meat would be lovely too. Hatch chilies are easy to find roasted, fresh, frozen or canned, but anaheim chilies substitute nicely and are easy to roast if necessary.
Whenever you use sour cream on a Mexican dish, try this instead to add a bit of spice and cooling at the same time. We use yogurt to get a bit more natural acidophilus in our diet, but sour cream works too. You can buy chipotles in adobe sauce in a can. Just blend the peppers to make a sauce that is easy to use in recipes. If you want to skip the can you can find tasty chipotle powders such as from the Savory Spice Shop as well.
