Chef's notes
Every good chili needs a “chili bar” to go along with it. We love all the fixings including:
Shredded cheese (Mexican, cheddar, Colby Jack, etc), Sour Cream, Sliced Avocados or Spicy Guacamole, Cilantro sprigs or chopped cilantro, Lime wedges to squeeze over chili, Chopped green onion or diced red onion, Sliced jalapeños (fresh or canned), Sliced olives, Tortilla chips.
