Chef’s Tips:
Who says chili needs a pot! Cooking this tasty chili on the grill means deep flavor, easy cooking, and no-fuss cleanup. What’s not to love?
Serve with grilled chicken and brown rice. You can also round out the meal with a side salad.
No pinto beans? No problem! You can substitute almost any cooked bean in this recipe. I’m especially partial to black beans or cannellini beans.
