Steps

1Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of olive or avocado oil.
2Add in the diced onion, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and diced sweet potato to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onion begins to become translucent.
3Add the spice blend to the pot and sauté for another minute until the spices become fragrant.
4Add the black beans, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, green chiles, vegetable broth, and dried bay leaf to the pot. Stir until everything is well combined.
5Bring the chili to a bowl and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let the chili simmer for 30-35 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
6After the chili has simmered, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Spoon into bowls, serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
