THREE AMIGOS CHILI

This is a recipe given to me from a friend, that came out of "The Abs Diet, Eat Right Every Time Guide." It is a "One-Pot Dish." And it says "Powerfoods: 5"...whatever that means. *shrug* I don't use the jalapeno tomatoes it calls for, since we don't like spicey. I just use regular tomatoes. Super easy and super yum!
