Cook this recipe

  • sweet potatoes-1 lb
  • red cabbage-2 cups
  • jarred salsa-1 cup
  • fresh cilantro-1/4 cup
  • water-2 tablespoons
  • canned black beans-1 can
  • olive oil-1 tablespoon
  • lime juice-1 tablespoon
  • chili powder-1 teaspoon
  • corn tortillas-8 tortilla
  • fine salt-3/4 teaspoon
  • ground cumin-1/2 teaspoon
1
Season the sweet potatoes
Large skillet with lid
Spoon

Heat the olive oil over medium heat, then toss the sweet potatoes with chili powder, cumin and two-thirds of the salt. Use a large lidded skillet and 1/2-inch potato cubes; reserve the remaining salt for the cabbage.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound sweet potato
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
2
Steam until tender
Large skillet with lid
Spoon

Add 2 tablespoons water, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once, until the sweet potatoes are just tender when pierced.

Use caution when lifting the skillet lid, as hot steam can escape quickly.

2 tablespoons Water
3
Brown the edges
Large skillet with lid
Spoon

Uncover the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are lightly browned at the edges.

4
Add beans and salsa
Large skillet with lid
Spoon

Stir the black beans and half the salsa into the tender sweet potatoes; cook until hot and slightly saucy. Allow about 3–4 minutes.

1 can black beans
1/2 cup salsa
5
Make the cabbage topping
Measuring Spoons
Small bowl

Toss the cabbage with lime juice and the reserved salt, then massage briefly until slightly softened. Prepare this in a small bowl while the filling cooks.

2 cups red cabbage
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
6
Warm the tortillas
Tongs
Large skillet with lid

Transfer the filling to a heatproof serving dish and cover to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean and dry when safe to handle. Warm the tortillas over medium heat until soft and flexible, about 20–30 seconds per side. Use tongs, work in batches that fit flat, and stack under a cover to keep flexible.

Use tongs to turn tortillas in the hot skillet to avoid touching the hot pan surface.

8 Count corn tortillas
7
Assemble and serve
Spoon

Fill tortillas lightly enough to fold, sharing the sweet potatoes, beans, cabbage, salsa and cilantro evenly. Serve extra filling and toppings alongside rather than forcing them into the tortillas.

1/4 cup cilantro
