Directions
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Stir in sweet potato and onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, chipotle and salt and cook, stirring constantly, for about 40 seconds.
Pour water in and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the sweet potato is tender, about 11 minutes.
Stir in beans, tomatoes and lime juice, increase heat to high and return to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and simmer until volume is slightly reduced, 4 to 6 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Stir in cilantro and serve warm with steamed rice or bread.
