Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.

Ingredients:

1 large Sweet Potato
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
10 small corn tortilla
1 tablespoon fresh or jarred jalepeno, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 green onions, sliced
1 lime
Handful Cilantro
10 small corn tortilla

Instructions:

Peel sweet potato and dice into 1/4 inch cubes. Place cubes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through. Drain potato and set aside.

Cut lime in half. Set aside one half for garnish.

In a large pan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Once hot add sweet potato, chili powder, cumin, jalepeno, garlic, juice from 1/2 lime, salt and pepper. Sautee for 5 minutes until some potato pieces are beginning to brown.

In a small pan heat a small amount of oil or butter. Fry each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on medium on each side. You can definitely leave this step out, but warm tortillas are the best!

To assemble place a spoonful of sweet potatoes, and a spoonful of black beans on a tortilla. Top with green onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice!
