Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 lb sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
  • 4–5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher sea salt
  • 30 ounces black beans (drained and rinsed, 2 cans)
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (one can)
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté diced onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add chopped sweet potatoes, minced garlic, taco seasoning, and kosher sea salt; sauté for an additional minute.
