Notes
- Salsa: Use a salsa you love! Most of the heat in this recipe comes from the jarred salsa. If you're cooking for kids or folks who are sensitive to heat, start with a mild to medium salsa and adjust the other spices accordingly. I recommend a thick and chunky salsa style--the chunks of tomato and onion add so much to this chili!
- Beans: I used black beans and red kidney beans for our taco chili because that's what I had on hand. Pinto beans would be a delicious substitute for either one, or you could use all black or all red beans. I drained the black beans but didn't drain the red beans, as I like the thickness and saltiness it adds to the finished chili.
- Tomato sauce: Use a canned, unseasoned tomato sauce for this recipe. I almost always keep a few jars ready in the pantry for use in all kinds of recipes, including this chili.
- Storing the chili: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It also freezes well!
