Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), chopped

2 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional toppings: avocado slices, cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, lime wedges

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

    Add Sweet Potatoes: Incorporate the diced sweet potatoes into the pot and stir well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to begin to soften.

      Spice It Up: Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the sweet potatoes and release the flavors of the spices.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, black beans, kidney beans, and vegetable broth. Stir everything together until well combined.

          Simmer: Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors meld beautifully.

            Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the chili and adjust seasoning as necessary. If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce.

              Serve: Ladle the Sweet Potato Bliss Chili into bowls and top with your favorite toppings like avocado slices, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra zing.
