  • Use a variety of beans: This will add different flavors and textures to the chili. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables will help to add a healthy element to the chili and also add some sweetness and texture. Some good options include onions, peppers, and corn.
