In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even browning.
To the browned beef, add the minced garlic, diced onion, salt, and all the spices (cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, chipotle powder). Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the onion softens and becomes translucent, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, beef broth, fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juices, and rinsed black beans. Combine everything thoroughly to evenly distribute ingredients and spices.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and serve with your favorite chili toppings such as green onions, sour cream, avocado slices, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeño, or fresh cilantro.
