Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using roasted chicken or adding a dash of smoked paprika. Adjust the spice level by adding more chili powder or a few dashes of hot sauce to suit your taste. Serving the chili with a side of whole-grain bread or topping it with avocado slices can enhance the meal's nutritional value and taste.
