Here’s a wonderful and unique Chili that is perfect when the weather cools down. It’s super chunky, full of great flavors, and a wonderful change of pace from your standard chili. The corn gives the chili Verde a sweet crunch and the lime and cilantro really brighten all the flavors. If you want a spicier version don’t seed the poblanos and add a few jalapenos.
