Instructions
Prepare the mise en place (AKA chop all the produce)
Heat a pot on medium-high heat and add the oil.
Saute the onion and bell peppers until lightly browned, season with salt and pepper.
Add in the garlic, chili powder and oregano, stirring occasionally for a couple more minutes.
Add in the tomato sauce, vegetable stock, lime juice, and chipotle. Bring up to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once it’s boiling, then turn down to a simmer and add in the beans and kale. Add the kale in batches until it cooks down if needed.
Cook until the sweet potatoes are soft and tender. Top with more broth or water if needed while cooking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more chipotle if more spice is desired. (Warning: Be careful! Chipotle is very spicy on its own.)
