A wonderful combination of flavors! And love the colors. I did not have tortillas in house but definitely can see why you recommended that idea. This is a big recipe for two- I think it would feed 3. I had black beans but opened up my can ( of kidney beans) before realizing what I had done-next time will use black beans but it was good with kidney beans too--LOL! Thanks Deb for sharing.

Great flavors. I used less salt, more cilantro and the optionals: corn tortillas and nonfat sour cream. Loved it as a taco! I did have to cook it an extra 4 minutes past the cooking time (covered) so that the sweet potatoes were all the way cooked through (which were cut into french fry shape).

Another great recipe! My husband gave this a 4 (he hates sweet potatoes but I make him eat them anyway :) ) however, a dinner guest gave this a 5 and I thought it was easy to prepare and hard to mess up. I only used about 2 1/2 teaspoons cumin as I ran out so I threw in 2 teaspoon of chili powder - DH likes spicy so this worked out well. I served this with a dollop of Gee Whiz Spread, wrapped up in a tortilla and with a side of yellow rice - the ultimate vegan fiesta! Thanks Deb!! Made for Veg*n Swap 23!
