2 corn tortillas
Nonstick spray coating
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 14-1/2-ounce can low-sodium tomatoes, undrained
1 cup water

1-1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon granules
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (1 ounce)
Directions
1. Partially freeze meat about 30 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain into bite-size strips.

3. Spray an unheated large skillet with nonstick coating. Preheat over medium-high heat. Add meat, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until meat is brown and onion is tender. Stir in the kidney beans, undrained tomatoes, water, chili peppers, basil, chili powder, bouillon granules, cumin, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until meat is tender.
4. Ladle into individual serving bowls. Sprinkle each serving with some of the tortilla strips and 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Makes 4 servings.
