Instructions
  1. In non-stick pan, steam cubed sweet potatoes on medium-high heat with a little bit of water for 8-10 minutes until soft (but not mushy) and set aside.
  2. Saute cliantro, onion and garlic until onions are translucent. Deglaze pan with lime juice.
  3. Add ALL ingredients together, stir in spices and heat on medium heat until hot. About 15 minutes. I usually wait a few minuted to add the black beans so they don't get mushy.
  4. Serve in tacos, burritos, lettuce wraps or on salad greens.
Recipe Notes

Deglazing is a fancy and intimidating word that means to pour some cold liquid into a very hot pan to get up all the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.  Those brown bits are where all the flavors are, and it is called “fond.”
