Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and diced into ½-inch/1.27 cm cubes)
- ½ cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 large/medium eggs (fried or poached)
- 1 small avocado (sliced)
- ½ red bell pepper (diced)
- ½ green bell pepper (diced)
- ½ small red onion (diced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 small jalapeno (finely diced, optional for heat)
- ¼ cup cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tbsps cotija or feta cheese (optional)
- 1 tbsp hot sauce or salsa
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Ignite a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Introduce sweet potatoes alongside smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Choreograph a rhythmic stirring process for 8-10 minutes until potatoes transition towards tenderness.
- Vegetable Symphony: Incorporate red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, garlic, and jalapeno into the skillet. Continue culinary choreography for 5-7 minutes, ensuring vegetables soften and potatoes develop a golden-brown exterior.
- Bean Integration: Gently fold black beans into the hash, allowing them to warm through for 1-2 minutes. Transfer the vibrant mixture from heat and position for serving.
- Egg Complement: If desired, execute egg preparation in a separate pan. Select preferred technique – frying or poaching – to achieve optimal egg doneness, creating a crowning element for the Tex-Mex sweet potato hash.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure consistent cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity or remove seeds to manage heat intensity, making the dish adaptable for different spice tolerances.
- Stir occasionally and monitor sweet potatoes closely to achieve golden-brown exterior while maintaining soft, creamy interior without burning.
- Swap black beans with ground turkey, chorizo, or tofu for varied dietary preferences and protein sources without compromising the dish’s core flavor profile.
