Sweet Potato Black Bean Chipotle Chili

Sweet Potato Black Bean Chipotle Chili by Alison's AllspiceThis year I tried growing sweet potatoes in the garden for the first time.  It was a success! Now I have a bowl full of sweet potatoes waiting for creative uses, like this sweet potato black bean chipotle chili!

I seriously loved this chili!  The sweetness of the potatoes, and the smokey chipotle really play well with each other. It is different than most chili recipes, which I love because it’s always good to switch things up.

Variations for the Sweet Potato Black Bean Chipotle Chili recipe:

  1. Make it spicy!  Double the chipotles, and add a little of the adobo sauce from the can!
  2. Make it mild.  Try using 1 tsp smoked paprika in place of the chipotle.  Smoked paprika will add the smokey flavor without the heat.
  3. Use up leftover sweet potatoes.  Dice and mix in a baked sweet potato with only 15 minutes of time left instead of using a fresh sweet potato.
