Hey friends! We had a bunch of sweet potato/yellow pepper hash leftover from Mother’s day brunch at our place, so I threw together an easy Mexican themed sweet potato and black bean power bowl for lunch yesterday.

Step 1: wilt a huge handful of baby spinach in the microwave (heat about 45 seconds).

Step 2: toss in sweet potatoes and canned black beans (drained/rinsed).

Step 3: add guac, because guac is awesome. Plus salsa and a little hot sauce (I used my fave: Cholula chili garlic hot sauce).

Easy and delicious! There were enough leftovers on hand to make another bowl, so I threw it all in a container to bring downtown to my coshared office today. Looking forward to eating it again shortly!

Psst: love black beans and sweet potatoes together? Here are some other recipes to try: Sweet Potato Black Bean Veggie Enchiladas and Sweet Potato Black Bean Quinoa Salad.

Happy eating, my friends!

What’s your favorite recipe (or throw together meal idea) using sweet potatoes and black beans?

    I like to throw them together with some egg whites for a hash/scramble. Sweet potatoes and black beans are such an awesome combo!

      Sounds yummy, thanks for sharing! I'll have to try that - I'd rock whole eggs for filling fat, though! :)

    Yum! I love black beans, diced tomatoes, taco-ish seasonings (cumin, garlic, onion powder,) and a fried egg with avocado!
