Colourful and packed with nutrients, it's a satisfying bowl of goodness that the whole family will love.
Serves 4 | Prep time: 15 mins | Cooking time: 40 mins
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups of Sweet Potatoes (rinsed & chopped into bite-size pieces)
- 1 can of Black Beans (leave undrained)
- 1 medium yellow or white Onion, diced
- 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
- 1 jar of your favourite organic Salsa
- 1 Tbsp Cumin
- 1 Tbsp Chili powder
- 3 cups of filtered Water
- Dash of Salt and Pepper
- Optional toppings: diced Avocado, chopped Cilantro/Coriander
METHOD
- Heat up a large pot on medium heat and throw in the garlic and onion. Add a little salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent (keep adding a little water at a time so it doesn’t stick, or you can use olive oil or coconut oil if you prefer)
- Add the sweet potatoes, cumin and chili powder. Sauté for 5 minutes. Then add the salsa and water.
- Bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, lower to a simmer. Add black beans, cover, and cook for 30 min (stirring occasionally) until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Top with cilantro, avocado, or any other toppings you want, then enjoy!
