This Friday is National Chili Day. This version is a favorite at our house, we generally serve it over rice but Mark has been known to serve his over g-free pasta sprinkled with cheese, a la chili mac. This recipe comes together easily with pantry ingredients and just a few fresh veggies to deliver a wholesome, budget-friendly, kid-approved meal.
Avocado salsa adds bright flavor to the finished chili.
