Stir in poblano chiles, onion, oregano, chipotle powder, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to combine. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are just tender. Add roasted sweet potatoes and black beans. Continue cooking 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is heated through.
- Heat bowls as directed on package. Divide sweet potato and black bean mixture among bowls. Drizzle a little of the lime and honey sauce over each; garnish with green onion and pepitas.
Expert Tips
- Pepita is Spanish for pumpkin seeds. You can find them hulled and raw or roasted. To roast: Spread raw pepitas in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Roast in 325°F oven, stirring occasionally, 10 to 13 minutes or until golden.
- For this recipe, look for sweet potatoes with a red skin and orange flesh.
- Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegetarian. Products and ingredient sources can change.
