Recipe Tips

For a spicier chili, add more chili powder or a diced jalapeño pepper. For a milder version, omit the chili powder and cumin and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika instead. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier option. Adding a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top of the chili beans and rice can also enhance the flavor of this dish.
