Notes, tips, and variations[edit | edit source]

  • Heat and serve in bowls with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of sour cream added to top.
  • Serve with cornbread or sourdough bread.
  • For a cool treat, spoon a tablespoon of ranch dressing on top of your chili, along with some cheese!
