Want it spicier? Toss in a chopped jalapeño or a dash of cayenne. Want it smoky? Add some chipotle in adobo. Want to really lean into the corn thing? Throw in a handful of crushed tortilla chips right before serving for a salty crunch that’s pure magic.
This is not a recipe that demands perfection. It’s a canvas. You can riff on it like a jazz musician—but with fewer berets and more cheese.
The topping game is strong
A bowl of chili is only as good as its toppings. Never serve it naked. Pile on shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions, and—if you’re feeling wild—a few corn chips for extra crunch. Even a drizzle of hot honey works, and that will make your friends ask, “Wait, what did you do?”
Then look them in the eye and say, “I added corn. You’re welcome.”
