🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free or vegan needs, skip the cheddar and sour cream, or replace them with plant-based versions for a similar creamy finish. If you want a milder bowl, use less chili powder; for onion-free cooking, leave out the onion and add extra bell pepper instead.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm cornbread, tortilla chips, or a simple green salad to add crunch and balance the chili's smoky, hearty flavor. Lime wedges, sliced avocado, or a spoonful of pico de gallo also brighten each bowl.
