Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.

          Slow Cook: Cover your slow cooker with the lid and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded.

            Finish with Lime: Once cooked, stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

              Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls, and garnish with fresh cilantro. For an extra touch, top with a dollop of sour cream or slices of avocado.
