Sweet Potato with Black Beans, Corn and Quinoa

I have had sweet potatoes on my cupboard for a month and wanted to use them as it was getting to be time.
This is the recipe that I came up with:

Ingredients:
  • 7-8 medium sweet potatoes, baked and mashed
  • 1 cup prepared quinoa
  • 1 onion- chopped
  • 1 cup cauliflower -chopped
  • 1 can Kuners Black Beans-rinsed and drained.
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1 can Italian Diced Tomatoes-I used a can of tomatoes that I canned and added 1 healthy teaspoon of Italian Seasoning.
  • 1- 4 oz can of green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground oregano
  • Chili powder to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Directions:
  1. Wash and bake sweet potatoes at 400 degrees until tender-about 55 minutes or so. Make sure to poke holes in sweet potatoes before baking.
  2. Prepare quinoa according to pkg. directions. (I used red quiona)
  3. Saute onions until tender. add cauliflower, continue to saute for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add all the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Cover and cook on low heat until the ingredients have a chance to blend.
  6. Serve over mashed sweet potatoes.
  7. Top with low sodium sour cream and cilantro.
Enjoy!!!!
