Ingredients
Scale

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ – 2 cups diced sweet potatoes (roughly 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes)
- 1–15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes

- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add the minced garlic, diced onion, salt, and all the spices (cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, chipotle powder). Cook until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, beef broth, fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juices, and rinsed black beans. Combine thoroughly.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer. Cook uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
