Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili

[heart_this] · Oct 27, 2022 · 3 Comments

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili

An easy to make sweet potato and black bean chili, that’s tasty and comforting!

Chili is one of my favourite cool weather comfort foods and this one, featuring sweet potatoes and black beans, is perfect for Fall! A chili is a stew consisting of chilies along with other ingredients, commonly meat, beans and other vegetables. This recipe starts out by cooking onions, chipotle chilies in adobo, garlic, cumin and paprika in oil before adding broth, diced sweet potatoes, beans and oregano and simmering until the potatoes are tender. One of the best things about chili is that you can serve it with toppings such as: diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled feta, sour cream, tortilla chips, lime wedges, pepitas, etc.!

    Just made this and gotta say it is fantastic! Didn’t change a thing. Will serve with a splash of lime, dollop of Greek yogurt and a side of warm cornbread. Thanks so much.
