Notes

For a richer flavor, consider cooking the chili a day in advance and reheating it, as this will allow the spices and ingredients to meld together more thoroughly. Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more cayenne pepper or chili powder. Adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese when serving can enhance the flavor and provide a creamy texture contrast.
