Add slightly chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened about 5 minutes.
Stir in MEXENE Chili Powder, flour, salt, ground cumin, and sugar. Stir until combined.
Add tomato sauce and water to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve chili in warm bowls and top with your favorite toppings such as cheese, sour cream, diced onion, or cilantro!
