My mother used to say, “there’s nothing better than a big pot of black beans”, but now I have to say that there’s something better than that: Mexican sweet potatoes with black beans. They’re also very easy and quick to prepare. When you find a recipe for a “Mexican” dish, it usually includes tomato, onion and a certain type of chili, usually serrano or jalapeño peppers. So, for this dish, I combined three Mexican ingredients: sweet potatoes, black beans and pico de gallo. It can be served hot or cold.
