Spiciness Level

This chili recipe will suit all palates. It’s not super spicy at all. There is a subtle sweetness from the ketchup and dried basil. 

To make it spicer:

  • choose a medium taco seasoning
  • a spicy enchilada sauce
  • sauté chicken with a few dashes of chili powder
  • add fresh jalapeño to each bowl before serving

It’s this easy!
