Some of my friends have asked for an easier chili recipe, that still has lots of authentic flavor. I think this one will work. It uses ingredients most people have on hand. The enchilada sauce can be replaced with a chili-flavored tomato sauce if you don't keep enchilada sauce on hand.

    This recipe can be enhanced with a couple of ethnic ingredients, which not all people keep on hand, but really add a lot of flavor to chili. 1 > for extra heat, stir in 1/2 to 1 small can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. 2 > if there are a lot of guys waiting to eat this chili, stir in a bottle of dark beer at the beginning of step 3. 3 > you may add 1-2 packages of Sazon Goya con Azafran during step 2.
