*Depending on how spicy you like your chili, opt for mild or spicy chilies. The Anaheim pepper lends flavor without too much heat, while jalapeño and serrano chilies can be spicy. Likewise, the canned chipotle peppers can amp up the heat. If you're not sure, add 1 or 2, simmer and taste, and add a third if needed.
**Canned corn hominy is available in the canned chili and salsa section at specialty and Mexican grocers.
