Ingredients

      • 1 ½ tablespoons grapeseed oil (or preferred oil)
      • 1 large red onion, diced
      • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
      • 1 large sweet potato, peeled & cut into ½" pieces
      • 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
      • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
      • 1 teaspoon oregano
      • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more to taste)
      • 2 ½ teaspoons cocoa powder, unsweetened
      • 14 ounces fire fire-roasted tomatoes, canned
      • 2 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
      • 2 14-ounce cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
      • 1 ½ teaspoons Himalayan salt, more to taste (or preferred salt)
      • 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed (more to taste)
      • Fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

      • In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. When hot, add onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 5-6 minutes. 
      • Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until garlic is lightly golden brown. 
      • Add potatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne. Sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Now add tomatoes and cocoa powder. Stir to combine well.
      • Add broth, salt, and pepper. Loosely cover the pot. Turn the heat up to get a simmer going. Once simmering, reduce heat between medium & medium-low to keep a light simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.
      • Now add the beans. Uncover the pot and lightly simmer for another 10 minutes or until the liquid cooks down a bit and the potatoes reach the desired consistency. 
      • Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Taste for seasoning and add as needed. Let the chili rest a minute before serving. See notes for topping ideas.
