Notes

For added flavor, you can let the chili sit for a few hours or overnight in the fridge before reheating and serving, allowing the spices to meld together.
Feel free to customize the chili by adding corn, zucchini, or other vegetables as per your preference.
Serve with cornbread, rice, or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
