Heat your oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sweet potato and onion then stir often until the onion starts to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, and salt. Stir constantly for 30 seconds, then add water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the black beans, tomatoes and lime juice; increase heat to high and return to a simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes or until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and enjoy your chili.
