Adjust Cayenne: The cayenne pepper is crucial for the chili's heat. Start with a smaller amount and add more to suit your taste. Spice Bloom: Toasting the chili powder and cumin in the dry pan for a minute or two before adding the other ingredients will enhance their flavor. Serving Suggestions: Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor and texture.

Mar 14, 2025I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I reduced the cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon and it was perfect for me. Thanks for the recipe!
