Wheat Berry Black Bean Chili


We've found our next chili recipe for the office chili cook-off!  We'll be entering this Wheat Berry Black Bean Chili.  The lime is the (not so) secret ingredient that makes this chili amazing.

If you have little ones like me, or don't like things spicy, make sure to reduce the amount of chili powder...or your mouth might have a spicy surprise.
