Tips for the Best Kinzie Espresso BBQ Chili

• For extra smokiness, add a dash of liquid smoke or chipotle powder.
• Adjust the spice level by increasing or reducing the harissa seasoning and chili powder.
• Leftovers taste even better the next day—store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
