Award Winning Nacho Chili

This is a wholesome delicious chili that won first place at my neighborhood's annual chili contest. It tastes like a big bowl of nachos supreme when ladled over tortilla chips. It takes more time and preparation than your typical open-up-a-few-cans chili, but your extra effort will be rewarded with a tasty, nutrient dense meal to serve your friends and family...besides, "Fast Food" is a false market- it leads to a diseased body which requires LOTS of time and attention!
