Tips:

- For a smokier flavor, roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler before peeling and dicing. - To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through. - Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or crumbled tortilla chips. - If you don't have any cooked chicken on hand, you can use rotisserie chicken instead. Simply remove the skin and bones from the chicken and shred the meat. - Feel free to experiment with different types of beans in this recipe. Black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans would all be delicious.
