I’m making some very basic chili. I have a can of black beans thats near expiry. Will adding it to my chili ruin it? It would be a 2:1 ratio of kidney beans to black beans.

Any Texan will tell you if it has beans it’s not actually Chili, but you already have beans in it anyhow. So yeah, it’s fine.
I’m a Texan and I’ve always found posturing like that to be a little silly. Like people who make a huge deal about how little vermouth they think goes into a martini.
To clarify, I like chili with or without beans, according to my mood at the time. Chili with beans in a situation that calls for chili is still better than no chili.
Written half in jest, to be honest. I used to be anti-bean, but I’ve grown to like the difference in texture. But there’s a lot of “get a rope” purists around here with regards to beans in chili.
Chili didn’t even have meat to begin with, hence chili con carne. Black beans are in the original version
I recommend adding garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and squash as well
