Three Bean Chili

What I love about chili is the trifecta of texture, spice, and meaty-ness. It needs to have something to “chew” and that visual of a lot of great things going on - tomatoes, peppers, beans, all-the-toppings. The spice needs to be balanced; yes to heat and smoke but not so much as to blow out your taste buds on the first bite.
