Tips and Variations
- Taco Seasoning Customization: Store bought taco season works great, but if you prefer a homemade version, simply mix together these ingredients and adjust to your preference: 1 tbsp chili powder, ½ tbsp ground cumin, ½ tsp onion powder, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, ½ tsp oregano, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper.
- Spicy White Chicken Chili: Amp up the heat by adding diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Creamy White Chicken Chili: Stir in a cup of heavy cream or add a block of cream cheese towards the end of the cooking time for an indulgent, creamy version of white chicken chili.
- Vegetarian Twist: For a vegetarian alternative, skip the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add extra beans, corn, and diced vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini to create a hearty vegetarian white chili.
