Soy Chorizo Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Quick and easy, healthy(ish) and super satisfying. Those are what I aim for in the majority of my recipes. I always love a short cut, especially when it adds a ton of flavor. These soy chorizo chili stuffed sweet potatoes hit on all those things. The soy chorizo (as I have mentioned before) has a ton of flavor and meaty texture. Combining that with some veggies and beans makes for the easiest chili recipe EVER! Pile that onto a baked sweet potato and you have a delicious meal that is loaded with protein, fiber and flavor. 

Now I said quick and easy and I understand baking sweet potatoes isn’t exactly quick, but it doesn’t require much effort. Wash the potatoes, poke ‘em with a fork, wrap in foil and bake for about 45 minutes until tender. You can always do this ahead of time (meal prep Sunday!) or right before you plan to eat as you cook the chili mixture (and take a few minutes for yourself :)). The chili mixture is also easy and only requires on-pot. Once all the items are in, simmer for 15 minutes and your chili is done. 

I like to keep this chili a bit chunkier (less brothy) so I only add 2 cups of vegetable broth. If you prefer it to be a bit soupier, you can always add more broth. This recipe will give you a pretty big batch of chili. I like to make this and reheat it for lunch during the week. You could also serve the filling over rice instead of sweet potato or try as a taco or enchilada filling.
