Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give the chili a rich, complex flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chorizo. You can use Mexican chorizo, Spanish chorizo, or even Portuguese chorizo. Each type of chorizo will give the chili a slightly different flavor.
- Add some spice to your chili with a variety of peppers. You can use chili peppers, habanero peppers, or even ghost peppers. Just be careful not to add too much spice, or your chili will be inedible.
- Let the chili simmer for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
