๐ถ๏ธ Adjust the spice level to your preference by modifying chili powder or adding cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes for extra heat
๐ฅ For the best flavor development, always brown the meat and sautรฉ the aromatics first – this builds deeper flavor layers
โฐ This chili tastes even better the next day – make it ahead and let the flavors meld overnight in the refrigerator for maximum taste
