Expert Tips
- Sour cream is a great topping for these crunchy chili bowls!
- Spice it up with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (1-2 mL) cayenne pepper. Just add it with the chili powder and taco seasoning mix.
- You could double the chili part of this recipe and freeze the extra for a quick weeknight meal. This would allow you to use the full 796 mL can of diced tomatoes!
