  • Add the garlic, quinoa, and beans and continue cooking another 2 minutes, stirring everything together.
  • Pour in the remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring chili to a full boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow chili to simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, until quinoa and sweet potato is cooked.
  • Remove pot from heat and allow it to sit covered for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. The longer the chili sits, the thicker it will be.

1)
The original recipe implies the sweet potato cubes go in raw, but I usually microwave them for about 6 minutes to make sure they are cooked.
2)
I usually don't top it with anything.
