This hearty Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili combines tender sweet potatoes, lean ground beef, and black beans with a flavorful blend of spices for a comforting and nutritious meal that's easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups diced sweet potatoes (roughly 1 large sweet potato or 2 medium sweet potatoes)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 - 15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 - 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

Spices

  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat the avocado oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until hot.
  2. Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Sauté aromatics and spices: Add the minced garlic, diced onion, salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, and chipotle powder to the beef. Cook, stirring often, until the onion becomes tender and fragrant.
  4. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, beef broth, fire roasted diced tomatoes, and rinsed black beans until well combined.
  5. Simmer the chili: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Serve and garnish: Serve the chili hot with your favorite toppings such as green onions, sour cream, avocado, shredded cheddar, sliced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to keep the chili lower in fat without sacrificing flavor.
  • You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a different flavor or to make it slightly lighter.
  • Add extra chipotle powder or fresh jalapeños if you prefer a spicier chili.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and add extra black beans and vegetables.
