Crockpot Sweet Potato & Black Bean Quinoa Chili

Try this healthy, vegetarian quinoa chili with chunky sweet potatoes and hearty sweet potatoes. The best part? It's made in a slower cooker, so it's easy and mostly hands-off!

It's definitely chili time. There's nothing that will warm your up faster than a bowl of this.

One thing to mention is that it might seem at little thin or liquidy at first, but as it cooks the quinoa will also cook, absorbing a lot of that liquid and helping the whole thing get nice and thick.

Also, while totally optional, the cubed avocado (or better yet a big ol' dollop of guac) and tortilla chips are phenom. It makes it feel little bit like a slice of Mexican heaven, perhaps taking your mind off that fact that it's cold and miserable out.

Instructions
