For a smokier flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. To make this chili spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño pepper. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, or avocado.
