Fiesta Sweet Potatoes




The burrito with the Fiesta Sweet Potatoes

Tonight, we were having company. I was making cilantro lime black bean burritos. We had 15 minutes until our company arrived and I was just getting ready to saute' the peppers. The husband asked where the rice was? OOPS! I totally spaced making it. Now, brown rice takes quite a while to cook so I knew I would have to forgo it. The brilliant husband said, "We could cook some potatoes to put in the burritos". So, I thought on that for a minute. I decided to make the cilantro lime "sauce" and put it on the potatoes. We were quite skeptical at first, but decided it was worth a try. I also had a mango and thought I would add that too. We were quite nervous. But, after the first bite- we knew we had a winner. I can't wait to make this again! It was such a delicious perfect combination of savory and sweet bold flavors.

Recipe:

  • 3 medium sized sweet potatoes

  • 1/2 TBSP lime
  • handful of cilantro (chopped up super fine- in food processor)
  • mango
Cook the sweet potatoes just like THIS.

While the potatoes are cooking, mix the chopped cilantro, lime and mango together. Add the cooked potatoes and.....

Enjoy!
