Chili does not have to be meaty to be deeply delicious and filling. This vegetarian chili packs major flavor and some heat thanks to the chipotle chiles en adobo sauce. The sour cream and avocado will dampen the spice a bit but your can make yours milder by scraping the seeds out of the chipotle and discarding them before chopping the pepper. Ready in under 45 minutes, each bowl gets a dollop of tangy sour cream and some chopped avocado. Sweet potato adds a hearty note with the beans and a delightful sweetness. As with any chili, this one is better the next day but, with such a quick cook time, you may way to have it for dinner tonight!
