Wheatberry Black Bean Chili

I had some cooked wheat berries left after I made my delicious salad..hope you saw that post!  So next on the week of grains....a nice vegetarian chili with wheat berries for protein.  This recipe went together very quickly.  Great for a quick meal.  It is spicy and hearty.  Put some avocado on top for a garnish.  This recipe is from Eating Well-so besides being delicious, and high fiber, it is good for you!
Perfect for a rainy night with leftovers for lunch.
