Chef's Tip
When zesting citrus, try to remove only the outermost colored portion of the rind, or zest, and as little of the white pith beneath as possible. The zest holds all the fragrant essential oils, while the pith tastes bitter.

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and roast the sweet potato fries

Heat the oven to 450°F.
  • Scrub or peel the sweet potatoes. Trim the ends and cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise into ½-inch-wide wedges.
On a sheet pan, toss the sweet potato wedges with 2 tablespoons oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast, turning once halfway through, until tender and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the chili.

2

Cook the chili

  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1½ teaspoons.
  • If using, finely chop the chipotle chile.
  • Rinse the black beans.
In a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mirepoix, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili spice blend, and as much chipotle chile as you like and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the black beans, tomatoes, and ⅓ cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
While the chili simmers, prepare the lime yogurt and jicama sticks.

3

Make the lime yogurt; prep the jicama sticks

  • Juice the lime; the juice will be divided between the yogurt and the jicama sticks.
  • Using a sharp knife or a peeler, remove the peel from the jicama; cut the white flesh into ½-inch-thick sticks.
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and half the lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the jicama sticks, remaining lime juice, and 1 teaspoon oil and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the fries

  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.
  • Trim the root ends from 2 scallions; thinly slice the scallions for garnish; save the remaining scallion for another use.
Stir the cilantro into the chili and season to taste with salt and pepper. On the sheet pan, top the sweet potato fries with the chili and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Alternatively, spread the fries out on an ovenproof platter and top with the chili and cheese. Warm in the oven until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve

Garnish the chili cheese fries with the lime yogurt and scallions. Serve the jicama sticks on the side.
