For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with 2 (15-ounce) cans of black beans or lentils. Adjust the amount of chili powder and jalapeño to your desired level of spiciness. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. This chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits. Consider adding a can of drained and rinsed corn for added texture and sweetness.
