Ingredients:
– 2 Medium Red Onion Chopped
– 1 Large Green Bell Pepper chopped
– 1 Medium Sweet Potato washed, peeled, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
– 1 Large Carrot Washed, peeled, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
– 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
– 2 Large Bay leaves dried
– 1 Teaspoon Salt ADJUST AS PER TASTE
– 1 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper ADJUST AS PER TASTE
– 4 Cloves Garlic minced
– 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
– 1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
– 1 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper
– 1 Teaspoon Taco Seasoning
– ½ Tablespoon White Sugar
– ¼ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
– 6 Medium Fire-roasted tomatoes diced (you can also use canned fire-roasted tomatoes)
– 1½ Cup Black Beans 15 ounces (Washed, drained, and rinsed)
– 1½ Cup Kidney Beans 15 ounces (Washed, drained, and rinsed)
– 2 Cups Vegetable Broth low sodium
Garnish
– 2 Tbsp Sourcream
– ¼ cup Shredded Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese
– 2 whole Serrano Chili chopped (optional)
– ¼ cup Cilantro chopped
– 1 medium-sized Red Onion Halved and Thinly slices
1) Fire Roast the Tomato, until it gets lightly charred on all sides. Don’t overdo it. Just until it gets lightly black on one side. Once it cools down to room temperature, chop it up, roughly and keep aside.
2) Start by chopping the Onions, Tomatoes, Carrots, Bell Peppers, and Sweet Potatoes.
3) In a large dutch oven or stockpot heat some olive oil. When the oil shimmers add Bay leaves, Onions, Bell peppers, Carrots, and Sweet Potatoes.
4) Season it lightly with some salt and pepper. In about 3-5 minutes onions will be completely cooked and translucent.
5) Now, reduce the heat to medium-low and add garlic, along with the spices. Cook until the raw smell of spices goes away. Now add tomatoes, beans, and broth. Also, add the ground Cinnamon now. Add some white sugar. Stir well and let it simmer for about 45-minutes to 1 hour, until the sweet potatoes are soft and tender.
6) Garnish this with Sour cream, Shredded Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese, Thinly sliced Red Onions, and Chopped Serrano Chile. Enjoy!
