Cuban inspired, this hearty chili dip gets its signature flavor from its chilies, cinnamon spice, sweet pineapple and raisins – a great way to fit in vitamin-C rich fruit. Its name “picadillo” means “minced meat,” a common ingredient in chili. Serve this flavorful dip with baked tortilla chips or crusty bread.
Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can no-beans chili
1 (8 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple tidbits, drained
1 (4 ounce) can canned diced green chiles, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup golden raisin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine chili, pineapple, chilies, cream cheese, raisins, chili powder and cinnamon; mix well. Heat until cream cheese melts, stirring continuously. Mix in almonds. Variation: In place of cream cheese, thicken with 1 can (15 ounces) white kidney beans, drained and puréed. *If desired, turkey chili may be substituted for no-beans chili (with consequent changes to the below nutritionals).
