Smoky chipotle heat meets the bright, herbaceous punch of Spiceology El Taco Salt-Free Seasoning in this deeply layered chicken chili that builds complexity the old-school way — charred vegetables, rehydrated chiles, and a long simmer. A side of Guac and Roll-seasoned rice rounds out the bowl with citrusy, avocado-forward notes. This is the weeknight dinner that eats like a weekend project.
