Directions

Step 1

Prepare your ingredients by dicing the onion, garlic, sweet potato, and red bell pepper. Drain and rinse the beans if using canned.

Step 2

In a large crock pot, add the black beans, white beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), vegetable broth, and chopped chipotle peppers.

Step 3

Add the prepared onion, garlic, sweet potato, and red bell pepper to the crock pot.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 5

Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 6 hours, stirring occasionally. If you prefer a shorter cook time, set it to high heat and cook for 3-4 hours.

Step 6

About 30 minutes before the chili is done, stir in the corn kernels to allow them to cook through.

Step 7

Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings as desired. Add more salt, pepper, or chipotle peppers for extra heat and flavor.

Step 8

Once finished, ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
