Mexican Quinoa Sweet Potato

Yesterday my friends and I took part in a Meatless Monday dish. This was actually a really good recipe! My friends seemed to like it. Our only complaint is that next time the sweet potatoes need to be cooked longer. This is a simple dinner that can be ready between 30 minutes to an hour. 


Ingredients:

1 can of black beans, drained
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped in 1 inch quarters
1/2 red onion, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1.5 cups water
1 (15 oz.) can of tomato sauce
2 packages of brown rice with quinoa
Mexican cheese
Salsa
Chips

Directions:

In a large skillet pour 1 tbsp olive oil into the pan; add the sweet potatoes 🍠 and cook for two minutes, stirring occasionally
Chop the onion and add to the pot and cook for another two minutes, stir to keep the onion from sticking to the pan
Add the water, tomato sauce, quinoa and black beans to the pan and stir to combine
Let the mixture boil for about 15-25 minutes or until the sauce cooks down
Serve while warm top with cheese and serve with chips & salsa
