Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili
Description
The chili starts by sautéing finely diced onions and sweet potatoes in olive oil until the onions soften. Garlic and spices, including chili powder and cumin, are then added briefly before incorporating chicken or vegetable broth. The mixture simmer gently until sweet potatoes are tender. Black beans and petite diced tomatoes are stirred in, followed by fresh lime juice to add acidity and awaken the flavors. Salt and pepper are adjusted to taste.
The stew delivers a combination of tender sweet potatoes and creamy black beans with a lightly spiced, smoky backdrop from the chili powder and cumin. The lime juice adds a refreshing contrast. This chili can be served with toppings of choice and is suitable for a filling vegetarian main or side dish.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator in an airtight container, making it convenient for meal prep or warming up later.
