Sweet potato vegetarian chili

Let's get one thing straight: for me, chili must have beans. It can be chicken chili, black & white chili or even chili topped with cornbread...one ingredient remaining the same is beans. Of course there are a variety of beans to use: kidney, black, garbanzo or Navy beans.
This time around I decided to make a vegetarian chili, but needed something to take the place of beef or chicken. Why not sweet potatoes?

Sweet Potato Vegetarian Chili

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cubed and cooked in salted water
olive oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 chile pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
15 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
15 ounce can corn, drained
3 ounce can fire roasted mild diced green chiles
additions: sour cream, parsley


Directions
1. Heat oil in a large pan. Add onions, garlic and chile pepper in adobo and saute for about 5 minutes.
2. Add spices and carrots and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Add fire roasted tomatoes, corn and fire roasted diced green chiles. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add cooked diced sweet potatoes and cook until they are heated through.


5. Serve topped with sour cream and parsley. You can also add chopped avocados and grated Cheddar.

i don't know where my previous comment went... i think if you have corn in chili, you can omit beans. but i love beans :)
i'm editing photos for my chili, too. but yours much more interesting and unusual!

Love this take on chili! I can imagine just how well the sweet potato worked in this.

Sometimes I think people put too many beans in their chili. I really like this recipe. It's so simple and looks really tasty.

A terrific idea to use sweet potatoes, your chili looks excellent, and I also love the addition of corn here.

Dear Doc obodo, Thank you for your patience with me during my custom spell casting.

During the middle for February my long time on again off again girlfriend broke up with me. She had some major problems going on in her life at the time and I was receiving some of the blame for them and she just felt it would be better if we were not together. And in typical fashion she handled the break up poorly and completely ignored me as she always did during prior break ups. I also had 2 recent deaths in my family (1 happened before we broke up and the other happened about 2 months later). So I had a lot of stress going on in my life. I hired Spells from Doc Obodo @ templeofanswer@hotmail.co.uk around the middle of February; they had a money back guarantee which made me feel that they must be good at what they do. So I went into this thinking that I would have my ex back in about 4 weeks. Well as time dragged on I started to feel as if this was not going to work at all. During all of this she moved, her phone number was disconnected and I thought this was over for good. In fact I decided that I had better get used to being single again and I tried to forget about her. I started hanging out with my friends more, I even wrote to Lilly requesting my money back. Lilly told me that she felt that this would work, that I had to remain positive and she felt that things would turn around. Throughout all of this Lilly always would amazingly get back to me quickly when I would send her an e-mail, usually within a few hours of the email being sent. As I had been pretty negative about this throughout most of the last 4 weeks I decided to follow her advice and let them continue casting for me. I completely tried to put my ex out of my mind as best I could and kept myself pretty busy, something that I had not done much of since we had broken up. Memorial Day night she called me and told me that she wanted us back together, that she missed me a lot, and that I had to let her know right then and there as we were on the phone if we were going to get back together. I was shocked, each time we did get back together before it was always me that made the 1st move; never had she made the 1st move. We have seen each other almost every night since then and things are getting back to where they used to be. I have to tell you it’s still really hard to believe. She is pretty nervous talking around me sometimes since we have gotten back together and I notice that she is trying to be careful not to say or do the wrong things.you can reach Doc Obodo personal cell @ +2348155425481 if you want to talk to him

Doc Obodo, Thank you again for all that you have done. I initially contact you because I thought that someone had stolen a box of keepsakes out of our garage when our house was broken into last summer. Some of the items had been found and returned but this box was still missing. It had some very valuable antiques in it as well as old family photos and heirlooms. I was devastated when we couldn’t find it. I had the Find a Lost or stolen Item money spells cast and four days later I got a call from my mom who said she had a roof leak and there were some contractors in her attic, while they were up there they had found this box. It was the only box in the attic; she never used her attic for storage so we still can’t explain it other than it was complete and total magick! I am so thankful for what you have given me and my family to remember those that have passed.ths man doc obodo is real forward your situation to he @ templeofanswer@hotmail.co.uk or cell +2348155425481
