Tips:

Some popular choices include serrano peppers, jalapeños, and habaneros. If you're not sure how spicy you want your chili to be, start with a small amount of peppers and add more to taste.
  • Roast the peppers before adding them to the chili: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill. Once they're roasted, remove the skins and seeds before adding them to the chili.
  • Use fresh tomatillos: Tomatillos add a bright, tangy flavor to chili verde. Be sure to husk and rinse them before using.
  • Cook the chili low and slow: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. You can cook it in a slow cooker or on the stovetop over low heat.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chili verde include shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and avocado.
