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
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.
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.
Uncover the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are lightly browned at the edges.
Stir the black beans and half the salsa into the tender sweet potatoes; cook until hot and slightly saucy. Allow about 3–4 minutes.
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.
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.
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.
