Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F.Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Add sweet potatoes, half the Mexican Seasoning and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 18-20 min.
Meanwhile, drain beans, reserving liquid, then rinse beans. Roughly chop cilantro.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef, remaining Mexican Seasoning and Tex-Mex paste. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Season with pepper.
Add broth concentrate, beans, crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup reserved bean liquid (dbl for 4 ppl). (TIP: Use less liquid if you prefer a heartier chili!)Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens slightly, 6-9 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir sweet potatoes into chili. Divide chili between bowls. Top with cheese and cilantro. Dollop sour cream over top.
