Here’s a recipe that I followed almost to a T, which is quite unusual for me. The only change I made was to use leftover rotisserie chicken in place of the ground turkey, but that’s just because I needed to use it up. This chili was delicious. I was worried the sweet potatoes might be odd (too sweet) but they were very good. The adobo has a great flavor. It is very spicy, so use it to your taste. I made this on the stove top because I didn’t have a whole 7 hours for it to cook in a crock pot.
