Heat the oil in a 4- to 6- quart Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chili powder and cumin, then add the broth and sweet potatoes and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender, about 10-15 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans and continue to simmer on low, uncovered, until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened, about 10- 15 more. Stir in orange zest and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the chili topped with green onions, cilantro, and sour cream.
