Analyzing cooking steps...
This recipe is highly flexible. Feel free to use any kind of chili peppers (hot or mild) and any variety of canned beans you like.
Do not drain the canned beans. The starchy liquid is a key ingredient that naturally thickens the chili and adds flavor.
Seasoning is all about personal preference. Start with a basic blend of cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano, then taste and adjust until it's perfect for you.
The dark chocolate is a secret weapon that adds richness and depth, balancing the acidity of the tomatoes without making the chili sweet.
This chili is designed for meal prepping. Making a large batch is a sustainable way to cook, providing you with nutritious meals for several days.
