Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of beans: This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy chili, add some chopped jalapeƱos or cayenne pepper. You can also use a hot sauce or chili powder.
