Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

4 large eggs (optional)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado slices (for serving)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Start by washing the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them and cut into small, uniform dice to ensure even cooking throughout the hash.

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced sweet potatoes along with a pinch of salt. Sauté for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and begin to develop a golden brown color around the edges.

      Sauté Aromatics and Veggies: Next, add the finely chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, followed by the diced red bell pepper and chopped jalapeño, continuing to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until all the vegetables soften and become fragrant.

        Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, and the remaining salt. Stir well to ensure all the vegetables are coated with the spices. Allow the mixture to cook for another minute so the flavors can combine nicely.

          Add the Black Beans: Gently fold in the drained and rinsed black beans to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the beans to warm through and meld with the other ingredients.

            Cook the Eggs (optional): If you choose to include eggs, create small wells in the vegetable mixture and crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred level of doneness (sunny-side up or slightly set).

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat once the eggs are cooked. Top the flavorful sweet potato hash with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve warm alongside slices of creamy avocado and lime wedges for an extra zing.

                  Presentation Tips: For a beautiful display, serve the hash directly from the skillet. Keep the eggs in their wells for an eye-catching presentation, and garnish each serving with an extra sprinkle of cilantro and a lime wedge for vibrant color.
