Description
Canned white or yellow hominy adds wonderful corn flavor and color. This is even better is it's allowed to sit for a day and get rewarmed. *serve this chili as "chili burritos" by wrapping in tortillas with green onions, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, cilantro, sour cream and salsa for a great 2nd meal!
