• 1 green pepper, diced
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes (I use herb)
• 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1/2 tsp. coriander
• 1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Fry onion, garlic, and green pepper with a little bit of oil in a large saucepan for about 3 minutes. Add chopped sweet potato and 1 cup of water; simmer until potatoes are cooked (5-6 minutes). Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and cook on med-low heat for about 15-20 minutes.

If you like it spicy, add some Tabasco sauce. I use a Korean chili sauce or some red pepper flakes. Serve with bread rolls.
