Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into sticks about 1/4 inch thick
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus a pinch, divided
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup black beans, rinsed
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 °F.
- Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the sweet potatoes are soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine sour cream, lime juice and the remaining pinch of salt in a small bowl.
