Notes
Finishing Touch
While the chili simmers, slice store-bought tortillas into 1/2-inch strips. Place on a baking sheet and coat with oil and a pinch of salt. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the strips are golden and crispy. Sprinkle over soups, salads and more for the ultimate crunchy topping.Mash Made in Heaven
Mashing half of the white beans before they hit the pot creates a naturally creamy base for the chili, no heavy cream required. Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
