- Mexican Rice brings some added smoky flavour
- A side of Mexican Coleslaw for crunch and freshness
- Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips are perfect for dipping into the saucy, smoky goodnesse
- Cornbread with Chipotle is a delicious side to have alongside chilli

Toppings are a great opportunity to add an additional burst of flavour and texture to your bowl of chilli.
Our favourite chilli toppings include:
- Homemade Guacamole
- Sour cream or creme fraîche
- Gran Luchito Fire Roasted Serranos

Chilli FAQs
We are super passionate about chilli, and we get a lot of questions about how to make the best chilli at home. Here are our most popular and frequently asked questions on the topic. If you want to learn more about Chilli and authentic Mexican recipes, be sure to check out the Gran Luchito Youtube Channel!
You will find chilli recipes with all sorts of secret ingredients, from chocolate to fish sauce (eek!), but we think a dollop of our signature smoky chipotle paste is the best secret ingredient for chilli. Made with a blend of chipotle and rare Mexican chillies which add a smoky depth of flavour, the paste also brings a sweetness from caramelised onion. A dollop of Chipotle Paste just seems to meld all the delicious flavours together.
With flavour, flavour and more flavour! When it comes to vegan chilli, the key is to roast the veggies in order to caramelise the natural sugars. For chilli con carne with mince, be sure to simmer everything together to really bring the flavours through — the longer the better we think! That said, it is possible to make a quick chilli. Take our easy chilli con carne recipe, for example, which gives you delicious results with only a quick simmer.
Our chilli recipes offer a good amount of protein and nutrients, meaning it can certainly be part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. You will find we have developed options for different dietary preferences, including our very popular and flavourful vegan chilli. You might want to use beef with 5% fat to reduce the calories, or serve chilli in a bowl with a crisp green salad instead of basmati rice.
