    Easy Meal Idea – Sweet Potato and Quinoa Tex Mex Chili

    By Laura CyraNovember 1, 2015No Comments2 Mins Read

    I don't know about you but mid-week rolls around and we usually have a bunch of random leftovers in the fridge and a few onions or sweet potatoes kicking around.  I decided to think outside the box and make a chili with leftovers and what we had kicking around in the cupboards.  You're going to love this tex mex chili because it is inexpensive to make and only takes about 20 minutes to throw it all together.

    Author: Real Momma
    Prep time: 5 mins
    Cook time: 20 mins
    Total time: 25 mins
    Serves: 6
    You can easily adapt the recipe to fit what you have on hand!
    Ingredients
    • 1.5 cups mixed beans (kidney, black, romano)
    • 1.5 cups chickpeas
    • 1.5 cups diced tomatoes
    • 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
    • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
    • 1 onion, diced
    • 2 cups Quinoa, cooked (rice works too!)
    • 1.5 T chili powder
    • 1 T taco seasoning
    • 2 cups water or broth of your choice
    • Guacamole, cilantro, green onion, lime wedges for garnish
    Instructions
    1. In a large pot or dutch oven heat oil over medium heat and add onion cooking until soft and they start to brown.
    2. While the onions are browning steam the diced sweet potato in the microwave for about 5-6 minutes so it is soft when a fork is inserted.
    3. Once onions are browned add the water or broth to the pot and the seasonings stirring to combine, I find this evens the flavor of the dish.
    4. Once combined add the remaining ingredients and cook until heated thoroughly.
    5. Serve in a bowl topped with your favorite garnishes!

    You can easily substitute ingredients to make it your own and you might like more or less seasoning.  Also keep in mind if you don't have cooked quinoa or rice you will have to prepare that or just cook the chili longer and add more water :).  You can use beans and tomatoes from a can just substitute the 1.5 cups with a 15 oz can, but when it is so easy to make beans in the slow cooker I never buy canned anymore.  You can grab my slow cooker baked bean recipe to save money, sodium and sanity in your recipes too!

    What's your favorite chili recipe?
