Now, I realize that this doesn't look like much but it's the best I can give you from my desk with a crappy camera phone. I am rather proud of it, however.
Last week, I dumped a huge can of enchilada sauce into a pan with intentions to make some kind of mexican soup. I added a can of black beans, a can of corn, a can of diced tomatoes, a cup of brown minute rice, leftover chunks of chicken (from the salsa-ranch-chicken wrap I made the night before...so good). I threw in a little cumin, some cinnamon, a good amount of cocoa. Honestly, I cannot explain to you how my brain works or why I would add cocoa but it seemed right at the time.
It didn't seem quite right as soup, so I decided to let it cool and maybe add some liquid, with some sour cream and avocado when the time came to eat it. Well, I came back a few hours later and had...solid soup. I accidentally made a rather large quantity of mexican chili. Then again, I guess you can't call it an accident if there is no real end goal in mind...right? The point is that I am enjoying said chili for lunch today and it is a little spicy for me, but actually really tasty. Here's to happy cooking accidents...
Yum :)
