> corn chips (wtf?)
The corn chips are usually used as a cheap and readily available substitute for masa, which acts as a thickener. In that recipe it looks like it's just there for texture. I'd leave those out as well and add some finely diced onion on top for a little crunch.
> How can I replace the heavy amount of beans and the essential peppers in order to still have that chili experience?
Try adding in some chopped up chipotles and the adobo sauce from the can. This stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Embasa-Chipotle-Peppers-Adobo-7-Ounce/dp/B000H25VSM. If you do that you can leave out the Tabasco, cayenne and whatever other chiles (spicy or otherwise) you add. Those chipotles are pretty spicy, but they have a smokey flavor as well, like when you toast dried chiles. So you get some depth as well. Minced up really fine she likely won't know they are in there, but you'll get some good heat.
> I tried replacing the kidney beans with garbanzo beans
The beans I'd replace with more meat (I like pork and beef in the same batch; the different textures are nice), but that's just me. :-) I'm not a bean guy in chili (or most anywhere else, really). She might like a more traditional chili con carne as well, though, especially if she's also not a bean person.
If you're into making your own seasonings Alton Brown's chili powder is pretty freakin awesome.
Also, next time you make it, if you like it a bit spicy, I'd suggest throwing one or two chipotle peppers, they're essentially smoked jalapeno peppers, in there with a bit of the adobo sauce they come in. Makes for awesome smoky flavors. They can usually be found in the "ethnic" aisle of your store.
You guys are going to hate me for this, but most canned chipotles in adobo sauce aren't keto. They have wheat in them. (See ingredient list in the middle of the page.)
Not that this is necessarily a pro-keto thread, but somebody mentioned it upthread. Really surprising to me. Goya brand doesn't contain wheat, FWIW.
