Tips:

Choose the right chili: Opt for high-quality chili powder or paste with a rich, smoky flavor.
Balance the flavors: Sweeten the chili with honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to counteract the heat. Add acidity with tomatoes, lime juice, or vinegar for a well-rounded taste.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chili in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and avoid steaming the ingredients.
Simmer, don't boil: Maintain a gentle simmer to develop the flavors and prevent the chili from burning.
Garnish generously: Enhance the chili's presentation and flavor with fresh cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced avocado.
