I had a GINORMOUS sweet potato giving me “the eye” every time I would look in the pantry and I needed to figure out what to do with him. I came up with this easy idea with things I already had in my fridge and pantry and I have to tell you, it was a HUGE WIN in the flavor department. This is a perfect idea for a vegetarian main dish or it could even be a side dish as well. Add it to your next fiesta party and your guests will be asking for the recipe!
