If you can taste cinnamon, you put too much. It gives almost a smokiness while making the sweetness of the tomato pop. But you should use so little you worry it won’t do anything.
I accidentally added a bunch once having thought I was grabbing my oregano spice bottle (they’re identical in shape, size, and color). I refused to throw it out and expected to hate it but, even though it was a lot to my eyes, it was good and wife agreed. That said, we both also like Cincy-style chili.
A pinch of cinnamon can be pretty good in chili. Adds a certain spiciness that isn’t a capsaicin feeling spice.
