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.

Ingredients

Gear

  • large skillet with a lid

Method

  1. Steam

    Heat the oil in the skillet over medium. Add the sweet potatoes, salt, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder and stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring once, until they start to soften.

  2. Brown

    Take off the lid. Add the onion and pepper and cook, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are tender and browned at the edges.

  3. Beans and greens

    Stir in the black beans and spinach and cook until the beans are hot and the spinach wilts.

  4. Serve

    Scoop onto plates with salsa and avocado.

Notes

  • tipCut the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same speed. No need to peel; scrub them well.
  • tipLeftovers reheat well in the skillet or the microwave, and make a good filling for a tortilla.
  • variationBrown a few slices of smoked sausage with the onion.
