Note

Serve hot. Leftovers can be frozen for future meals; ensure the chili has cooled completely before freezing to maintain texture.

For a milder chili, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeÃÂ±os before chopping. For extra heat, leave them in.

The recipe calls for a mix of onions (red, Spanish, white/yellow) to build a complex flavor base. Feel free to substitute with your preferred onion variety.
