Notes

For the best flavor, consider making the chili a day in advance as it often tastes better after the flavors have had time to meld together. Adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your taste, and feel free to garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
