1 T dried oregano
Stir in the next four ingredients. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until the spices are very fragrant.

Drain and rinse the beans. Stir in corn and beans.

Add the tomato juice, coarsely chop the tomatos and add them.
1 sweet potato, peeled and finely diced
1 T chipotle chilies, chopped
Add the sweet potato and chilies. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so liquid is just simmering. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the potato is tender and the chili is beginning to thicken (20-25 minutes).
