  • Use a variety of beans in your chili. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. Chili is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
