Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili

Sweet Potato Chipotle Chili

Chipotle chilies are dried smoked jalape?o chilies. They are often canned in adobo sauce, which is made with ground chilies and spices. They add a distinctive smoky flavor to this robust chili; taste before adding a second chili, as they can be fiercely hot in flavor!
