Well, I made a lot of changes, but it was a great starting point.Would rather not include a star rating, but have no choice.
Used ground turkey instead of beef, black beans instead of pinto, tomato sauce instead of puree, a whole lot of sauteed chopped garlic as well as garlic powder, habanero sauce instead of tabasco, less paprika and cumin, and added ground habanero to the cayenne. Certainly did not add the salt! Fiery good.
Next time, will avoid the cans and use actual beans.

This is perhaps the biggest life saver I have ever come across. Good, Low sodium food is very hard to come by. This recipie takes the cake! Be sure to stick to the measurements, as adding too much gives the chilli a rather large kick. If you stick to the recipie though it should come out sweet, with just a bit of a nip to it. Thank you nesta! :)

Good overall, however, this recipe was quite spicy. I recommend taste testing before adding the quantity of paprika, cayenne and Tobasco. Also, to me, I didn't enjoy the taste of cumin.
