Buffalo is much leaner, which makes this chili healthier than traditional recipes. Prepared with a mix of spices like cocoa powder, Mexican oregano, basil, marjoram, cumin, and chili powder, that perfectly complement each other. The heat is provided by a blend of jalapeno and habanero peppers. This chili is perfect for a cozy dinner or as an addition to game day party menu.
