For a smoky depth, add a pinch of smoked paprika along with the chili powder. To thicken the chili, mash about 1/2 cup of the black beans before adding them to the pot. Customize your chili by adding other vegetables like corn, bell peppers, or zucchini. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or a squeeze of lime juice.
