For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder or a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last hour of cooking. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your preferred level of spiciness. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat. This chili is delicious served with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, chopped cilantro, avocado, or a dollop of hot sauce. To make this chili even more convenient, soak the dry beans overnight before cooking. This will reduce the cooking time and improve the texture of the beans.
