Prep:

 
Total Time:
Prep:
Level: Easy
Yield: 4 servings (cost per serving of $2.05)
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients

  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 can black beans
  • 0.50 tsp. ground cumin
  • 0.13 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 bunch spinach
  • kosher salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 large lime
  • 6 oz. nonfat Greek yogurt
  • scallions
 

Directions

  1. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork, place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high, turning over halfway through, until just tender, 16 to 18 minutes.
  2. Ten minutes before the potatoes are finished, heat the oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beans, cumin, cayenne, and 2 tablespoons water, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, tossing, until the beans are heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing until beginning to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat.
  3. Split the potatoes and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Squeeze a lime wedge over each potato, then top with the bean mixture. Serve with a dollop of yogurt, sliced scallions, and extra lime wedges, if desired.
