Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 pound ground chicken
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup plain low fat yogurt
1/2 cup chunky salsa
1 heart of romaine lettuce, chopped

Add the beans and let cook until warmed through.
