Notes

    • For a thicker chili, mash or blend some of the pinto beans before adding them to the pot.

    • Add a bit of heat with diced jalapeños, chiles in adobo, or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

    • Use red enchilada sauce in place of the green enchilada sauce if that’s what your family prefers.

    • Add as many veggies as you’d like. Sauteed bell pepper or poblano pepper would be delicious.
