Ingredients
-
1 (4 ounce) sweet potato, cut into 1/3-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
-
½ cup water
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 cup chopped yellow onion (from 1 medium onion)
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 garlic cloves)
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
½ teaspoon chili powder
-
½ teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed
-
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained
-
1 ¼ cups vegetable broth
-
1 cup frozen corn
-
1 cup uncooked quinoa
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
-
½ cup light sour cream
Method
-
Combine sweet potato and water in a large skillet; bring to a boil over high and cook, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is mostly tender and water is completely evaporated, about 3 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to medium-high and add oil and onion; cook, stirring often, until onion is softened, about 3 more minutes. Add garlic, cumin, coriander, chili powder and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beans, tomatoes, broth, corn, quinoa and salt, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until quinoa is tender and liquid has been completely absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; uncover and top with cilantro and sour cream.
