Beans are great in chili. If you like them then add them.
If you don't then leave them out or serve them on the
side. There is no strict definition of what chili is and
what can and can't be included. Just like with pizza,
there is no one definition of what "real" pizza is and
what you're allowed to use as a topping. I've heard
that "real" Texas style chile doesn't have any tomatoes
or beans in it. Sounds reasonable to me but there are
others that will disagree. Texas isn't the one and only
style of chili that is valid, unless you listen to a chili
snob who's definition is the only one that matters. Eat
what you like and don't worry about what the food
police have to say about it.
