Description
People who have tasted this thick mix of beans, spices and chicken say: ‘So good it’ll make you perky and stupid!’ I’ve placed in my workplace’s annual Halloween chili cook-off for the last three years. Looks strange — tastes great! Serve with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and warm flour tortillas.
