“Hearty, vibrant, and packed with fiber. Sweet potatoes and spiced black beans in a Southwestern skillet.”

1Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small (½ inch)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
½ red onion, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp taco seasoning
½ cup vegetable broth
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
Fresh cilantro and avocado for serving

2Instructions

1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and red onion. Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender and slightly browned.

2

Stir in taco seasoning and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add black beans, corn, and vegetable broth to the skillet.

4

Stir everything together, reduce heat to low, and simmer 3–4 minutes until liquid is mostly absorbed and flavors meld.

5

Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted.

6

Top with fresh cilantro and diced avocado before serving.

Pro Tip

Dicing the sweet potatoes small and uniformly is crucial — if the pieces are too large, they won't cook through in the 30-minute timeframe.
