Chorizo is typically a heavy, fatty sausage, so I've decreased the oil content of this chili to compensate. The heat of chipotle, or smoked jalapeno, is fairly intense. If half a teaspoon seems like too much, reduce to your taste; I've added a good bit of it because the spiciness helps speed up your metabolism to counteract the fat in the chorizo. Conversely, if the chipotle powder doesn't seem like enough heat, you could use an entire chipotle pepper in adobo sauce.
