I made this Chili last night and it turned out really delicious so I thought I would share.
When I went to the market I found the first Manila mangoes (my favorite!) of the year for 89 cents each so I snatched them all up and ate this chili with baked corn chips, grated low fat cheese, chopped cilantro and a bowl of fresh mango peices. DELISH!
