Thank you for the recipe!
And extra glad you didn’t call for file’.

For those that might turn askance from cinnamon, try adding 2-4 shots of espresso (RedEye Chili) or 3 tablespoons of dutched cocoa (Choco-Chili).

The Aztecs generally consumed chocolate as a hot drink made with water and cayenne powder.

I have used coffee to thin out a pot of chili before. It's different. I will have to give the cocoa powder a try the next time I make a batch.
