Instructions
1
Heat the oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan or Dutch oven. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until softened. Add the chorizo to the pan and break up into pieces with a wooden spoon and cook 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
2
Add the garlic and spices and cook for 30 seconds, then add the sweet potato and poblano pepper and cook for 1 minute longer.
3
Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and add the beans, maple syrup, salt and pepper.
4
Simmer the chili for 20-25 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chili has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice, and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Serve with additional cilantro and lime if desired and enjoy!

Pro tip: Veggies may be prepped ahead to make this meal go even quicker, and the chili may be made up to a day or 2 in advance. It’s also freezer friendly!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Remove Chorizo Casing for Better Texture 🌶️Squeeze the chorizo out of its casing before browning to allow the sausage to crumble evenly and distribute its oils and spices throughout the chili for maximum flavor integration.
- Bloom Your Spices in Oil 🫗Toast the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika in the rendered chorizo fat for 30-60 seconds before adding stock to unlock their essential oils and deepen their complex, smoky flavors.
- Maple Syrup Balances Heat & Acid 🍁Add maple syrup in the last 15 minutes of simmering to round out the spicy kick and tomato acidity; start with 1 tablespoon and adjust to taste for the perfect sweet-spicy balance.
- Char Your Poblano for Depth 🔥Roast the poblano pepper directly over a flame or under the broiler until charred, then peel away the skin to add a subtle smoky sweetness and authentic depth that raw peppers cannot provide.
- Finish with Fresh Lime & Cilantro 🍋Add fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro just before serving to brighten the heavy, rich flavors and provide a vibrant contrast that elevates the entire dish.
