Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup frozen corn
  • 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed

Preparation

1. In large heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Add sweet potato, and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, jalapeno, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring often, 30 seconds. Add ¾ cup water and cook, stirring to scrape any browned bits from bottom of pan, until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn and beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with freshly ground pepper to taste, and serve hot.
