Instructions
- In the bowl of a slow-cooker, whisk together the broth, orange juice, lime juice, and honey.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, beans, onion, peppers, sweet potatoes, garlic, jalapeno pepper, tomato paste, spices, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chili has thickened, on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 5 hours.
- Check the seasoning and add more salt and pepper, as needed.
- During the last hour of cooking time, stir in the quinoa. The chili is ready once it has thickened and the quinoa is tender.
To Serve:
- Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with cilantro, avocado, cheese, sour cream/yogurt, and tortilla chips. Serve while hot.
NOTE:
- This chili is gluten free and vegetarian. It can be made easily vegan by omitting the honey and using a couple tablespoons of maple syrup or brown sugar instead. Swap in vegan toppings, as you see fit.
