Smoky Chipotle Sweet Potato Chickpea Chili
This smoky, chipotle chili is packed with nutrients and uber comfort food value. Quick, simple and only requiring one pot, this chili is the perfect winter meal. Feel free to sub/change up the veggies based on what you have on hand; black beans in the place of chick peas, squash instead of sweet potatoes, etc.
