This one-skillet wonder is full of nutritional value and is fun to eat! Sweet potatoes bring vitamins A and C, as well as a fibre kick, and black beans ramp up that fibre dose, provide micronutrients like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, and add plant-based protein to your meal! Dipping corn chips or whole-wheat pita into the tomato-filled goodness adds some fun to eating healthy food.
