Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 tablespoons Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 2 Sweet Potato
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Poblano Pepper or pasilla pepper, can substitute green bell pepper if you can’t find a poblano
  • 1 15 oz can Black Beans Drained and rinsed
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
  • Cotija Cheese To serve
  • Gluten Free Corn Tortilla Warmed to serve

Instructions
 

  • First, fire-roast your poblano pepper by blackening the skin all over by holding it over a direct flame (like a gas burner on a stove top, or a kitchen torch) or by placing it under the broiler of your oven.
  • Turn the pepper often so that it blackens evenly.
  • Immediately seal it in an airtight container and let it sweat for about 10 minutes.
  • Scrape the skin off the pepper with the back of a knife and then dice the pepper.
  • While the pepper is sweating, peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces.
  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet heat the oil with the minced garlic for one minute.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, season with the ground cumin and chili powder, and saute for about 5 minutes. If at any time sweet potatoes start to stick to the pan add a little vegetable broth to keep things moist.
  • Add the diced poblano and the black beans and continue to saute until the sweet potatoes are softened.
  • Add another 1/4 cup of vegetable broth to de-glaze the pan.
  • Serve in corn tortillas and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Sour cream with a little adobo sauce (from a can of gluten free chipotle peppers.) or even chipotle mayo, if you want to limit the dairy.
