What can you do to tone it down if make your chili too spicy?

1. Add Dairy: Dairy products like sour cream, plain yogurt, or cheese can help reduce spiciness by binding to capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat.

2. Sweeteners: Adding a little bit of sweetness with honey, brown sugar, or molasses can balance the spiciness.

3. Acids: Adding acidic ingredients such as lime juice, lemon juice, or vinegar can help cut through the heat.

4. Coconut Milk: Coconut milk can add a creamy, cooling element and reduce spiciness.

5. Peanut Butter: Peanut butter or other nut butters can also help absorb some of the spiciness.

6. Roasted Vegetables: Adding extra roasted vegetables like potatoes or carrots can dilute the spiciness by increasing the volume of the chili.

7. Grains: Adding grains like rice or quinoa can make the chili less concentrated and thus less spicy.

8. Broth or Water: Adding more broth or water can dilute the spiciness without changing the flavor profile too much.

9. Tortillas or Bread: Serving the chili with tortillas, bread, or cornbread can help people adjust the spiciness to their own taste by controlling the amount of chili they put on each serving.

10. Sugar: A small amount of sugar can sometimes help to balance out the heat.

11. Avocado or Guacamole: Adding some creamy avocado or guacamole can help provide a cooling contrast to the spiciness.

12. Cornstarch Slurry: Add a cornstarch slurry made from cornstarch and water mixed until smooth. Bring the chili back to a simmer while stirring continuously. This will help thicken the chili and tame some of the heat.
