Serves 6
-
1
tablespoon olive oil
-
1
onion, chopped
-
5
cloves garlic, minced
-
2-3
teaspoons chili powder
-
1 1/2
teaspoons ground coriander
-
One
14.5-ounce can chopped tomatoes
-
1/2
pound black beans, soaked overnight
-
1
chipotle chile (from canned chipotle chiles in adobo), minced
-
1
teaspoon dried Mexican oregano (or regular)
-
1 1/2
teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
-
1
medium sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 1/2 cups)
-
1/4
cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
-
3
cups water
-
Sour cream or greek yogurt for garnish
-
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and beginning to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, and coriander and stir. Cook together for 1 minute.
- Add this mixture, along with all the remaining ingredients, to the crock pot. Stir and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. You may need to add more water at the end, though thanks to pre-soaking the beans, I have found it not to be necessary.
- Serve with fresh cilantro and sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.

I made this for my family today, and it is delicious! I made it on the stovetop with canned beans instead, and used a garnet yam instead of sweet potato. Really delicious and super easy--definitely saving it.
