Question: is there a difference between chili beans and kidney beans?
Answer: Canned beans labeled “Chili Beans” are cooked pinto beans with chili seasoning. Kidney beans are a bit larger and more curved with a somewhat tougher skin. Canned chili beans you can just heat and eat as is, or add to other ingredients in a burrito, or you can make chili, adding meat or other things as desired.
