Ingredients
  

  • ½ large sweet onion chopped
  • 1 Sweet Potato mine was about 200g
  • 2 small zucchini chopped
  • 3 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 2 teaspoon dried cumin
  • 1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 can black beans with liquid

Instructions
 

  • Heat a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and cook the onions with a small pinch of salt until just turning transparent and slightly browning.
    ½ large sweet onion chopped
  • While the onion is cooking cut up the sweet potato into small cubes.
    1 Sweet Potato

    2 small zucchini chopped, 3 teaspoon chili powder, 3 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoon dried cilantro, 2 teaspoon dried cumin, 1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • At this point your pot will be getting dry and possibly sticking a little. That's ok. Add the can of diced tomatoes and it should losen all up.
  • Add the can of black beans and stir everything together.
    1 can black beans with liquid
  • Bring the chili to a boil then lower to a simmer and cover. Cook 20 minutes covered and then another 10 minutes or so uncovered until the sweet potato softens.
