Black Bean Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili

Prep: pretty straightforward

Time: easy to prepare in either crockpot or on stove top

Taste: great with guacamole!

From: an original!

Note: really, the guacamole makes it

Step 1: Decide on whether you want to make this on the stove top or crockpot. 

Then, get your devices ready!

Step 2: Prep your ingredients:

small onion, diced

medium sweet potato, diced

1 sweet pepper, diced (red, orange, or yellow)

1 can of black beans, rinsed

1 can of plain diced tomatoes 

1/2 cup dry quinoa, rinsed if you are into that

Vegetable stock or water- approximately 2 cups 

2 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more if wanted

Step 3: Cook it up! Honestly I used to do this on the stove top, sautéing the onions, slowly adding the sweet potatoes, constantly stirring, etc. etc. 

Now I just dump it all in a crockpot and cook on high for 5 hours or low for 7-8. Much easier.

Step 4: Serve! Highly recommended to serve with guacamole and chives as a garnish!
