For a spicier chili, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you don't have fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon of dried cilantro can be substituted. To thicken the chili further, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the chili during the last 15 minutes of cooking. The chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
