replacing red kidney beans with chick peas

Would it taste ok if I replaced red kidney beans with chickpeas in a chilli con carne?

Is one healtheir than the other?

I'm cooking it tomorrow and I've just realised that I've only got chick peas and baked beans, and I don't think baked beans would do.

If you like chickpeas then sure, it'll be fine. I know some people who put baked beans in chilli but the thought is gross to me lol. Plus they're usually full of salt and crap anyway, so tinned baked beans generally aren't 'healthy'.

Chickpeas are so good. I love making chickpea curry; healthy and delicious.

I guess you could try putting them in chilli, they taste great so I can't imagine it turning out horrible. Do it and report back! :tongue:
