- Simmer for Flavor: Allow the chili to simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time permits. This allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more delicious chili.
- Serve with Desired Toppings: When serving, offer a variety of toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro. This allows your guests to customize their bowls according to their preferences.
