Notes

    • Add more vegetables - Corn, bell peppers, and carrots are all good choices.
    • Thicker Chili - If you like a thick chili, add another can of diced tomatoes with their juice or additional tomato paste.
    • Add some spice - Do you like it hot? Stir in cayenne pepper powder, smoked paprika, or chopped jalapenos to add heat.
    • Change the protein - Substitute chicken chorizo as a lower sodium option.
