What To Serve With It

When I’m serving up a bowl of this chili, I love rounding out the meal with sides that complement its creamy, spicy flavors. A warm, buttery cornbread pairing is my go-to—it’s perfect for soaking up every last bite.

For topping suggestions, I pile on shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime for brightness. A dollop of sour cream or sliced avocado adds cool contrast. Sometimes, I’ll toss in crunchy tortilla strips for extra texture.

These simple touches turn a cozy bowl into a full, satisfying meal that’s always a hit with family and friends.
