Sweet Potato, Corn & Black Bean Hash
Onions and diced sweet potato are browned in a cast-iron skillet, then cooked with garlic, jalapeño, cumin, and salt. A little water is added to scrape up the browned bits, and corn and black beans are stirred in and heated through. Finished with cilantro, pepper, and a squeeze of lime, it's a colorful, flavorful skillet dish made in one pan.
