Notes

For an enhanced flavor, consider roasting your own green chilies instead of using canned ones. You can adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer chilies according to your preference. If you prefer a thicker chili, let it simmer uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce the liquid. This dish pairs well with warm tortillas or rice.
