Keto Chili with Green Chiles

This Low Carb Chili recipe is the perfect comfort food. You will not miss the beans. The Adobo seasoning and smoked paprika give it a gourmet flavor, but still qualifies as comfort food. 

Chili did not originate in Mexico. It came from the Spanish Canary Islands when families immigrated from there to Texas in the 1700’s. It’s fun to know you’re taking part in a dish with a lot of history.
