Ingredients
Scale
1 large sweet potato (peeled and diced)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 cup brown rice (uncooked)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 small onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the brown rice according to package instructions, using vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
Once the sweet potatoes are slightly tender, add cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the sweet potatoes in the spices.
Toss in the rinsed black beans and cooked brown rice, mixing thoroughly. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fully tender and the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
Top with fresh cilantro and any additional garnishes of your choice. Serve warm.
