The lid does the hard part: it steams the sweet potatoes soft first, then you take it off and let them brown. Black beans go in at the end for protein, and a spoon of salsa on top finishes it.

Notes

- tipLeftovers reheat well in the skillet or the microwave, and make a good filling for a tortilla.
