Tips:

  • Use canned black beans to save time and energy. Rinse and drain them before using for best results.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • To add a smoky flavor to your chili, use a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. Just be sure to remove the seeds before using, as they can be quite spicy.
  • If you like your chili thick, mash some of the beans with a fork or potato masher. This will also help to release their starch and thicken the chili.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, avocado, or cilantro.
