Add some oil to a pan and heat it. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the bell pepper and jalapeno. Cook for another minute.

Mix in the cumin, Chipotle and chili powder. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes, until fragrant. Add the beans with their liquid, the tomatoes with their liquid and the sweet potato. Season with salt and pepper.
