Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

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

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

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or green), chopped

2 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado slices (for topping)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

      Stir In Spices: Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper over the sweet potatoes. Stir well to coat the ingredients with the spices for about 2 minutes.

        Combine Other Ingredients: Pour in the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, kidney beans, and corn. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

          Simmer Chili: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne if desired.

              Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
