Spicy chili is a popular dish made from a combination of ground meat, beans, tomatoes, and a variety of spices. The heat in chili comes from ingredients like jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or chili powder, which can vary in intensity. It is often served hot and can be enjoyed on its own or with toppings like cheese, sour cream, or green onions. Chili is commonly associated with Tex-Mex cuisine and is a staple at gatherings and competitions, such as chili cook-offs. It can be made in many variations, including vegetarian options that replace meat with beans or vegetables. Chili is not only flavorful but also filling and nutritious.
