Yes, we know. You almost always find beans in chili, so adding black beans to chili isn’t anything too revolutionary. However, if you combine these black beans with kidney beans, you’ll up the ante and give a little variety to vegan chili.
Surprisingly, sweet potato is a great meat alternative when making chili. It adds a heartiness and a bit of a sweet touch that works great when making an especially spicy chili. Try it out!

Spice it up with cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Pour everything into a food processor and blend until smooth. Finish with a squeeze of lime and some fresh cilantro and you’re ready for dipping!

While that cooks, mash up half of the black beans you’re using and keep the other half whole. Throw in diced garlic and cook for just a minute. Finally, pour in fresh tomatoes, broth, cumin, coriander, chili powder, bay leaves, and two kinds of beans. Bring to a boil, simmer for 15 minutes, and serve!
