I know you’re convinced that a little cinnamon improves your chili.

You are incorrect on this conviction.

    It’s also not short for chili con carne y tomates, so by that logic it’d be weird to put tomatoes in there too lol

      I’m pretty sure it’s actually short for chili con carne, tomates, espinaca, frijoles, maíze, arroz, más frijoles, calabacín, brócoli, pimientos verdes, comino, chipotle, y pimentón ahumado.

      Again, I don’t necessarily disagree about it from a competition/traditionalist perspective, but I’m going to put it in mine because I like it. That said, I do find that most recipes are akin to a tomato, meat, and beans stew and are sorely lacking in the chilis that the dish is named after.
