About the Recipe
This sweet potato and quinoa chili recipe is a great way to switch it up from your traditional chili. I've seen many variations of this recipe online, but they're typically vegetarian using beans instead of ground meat. Personally, I prefer to use ground turkey here, you could also use ground beef. This is a super easy crock pot chili recipe, just throw everything in the crock pot and let cook about 6-8 hours. I like to serve the chili topped with avocado and crushed tortilla chips for extra flavor and crunch. Enjoy!
