Southwestern Skillet

Ingredients: 

sweet potato

chili powder

ground cumin

dried oregano

smoked paprika

garlic powder

diced green chiles

salsa or salsa verde

brown rice

black beans

cilantro

lime

Vegan cheese (if you are vegan or dairy free otherwise cheddar, Colby Jack or Monterey Jack cheese)

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add in the diced sweet potatoes, salt and pepper, and sauté over medium heat for about about 8 minutes. 

Add 3-4 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cover it with a lid. Let the sweet potatoes steam until they're fork tender, about another 4 minutes depending on the size.

Add the green chiles, black beans, rice, spices, salsa, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together until combined.

Add the shredded cheese to the top and cover the skillet with the lid. Let everything cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is warm. Serve topped with additional cilantro, avocado, and plain Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired
