  5. Stir in the red wine vinegar and let simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cilantro and serve.

Notes

  • The serrano pepper will be the spiciest thing you add to this chili. We have removed the ribs and seeds to help moderate the spice level but if you want to tone down the heat you can skip the serrano pepper completely. 
  • If you want to up the heat you can add more chipotles and a few tablespoons of the adobo sauce to your chili.
