Reviews
I made as shown and we loved it! I made the bowls as directed: rice topped with black bean/ tomato mixture then pepper/onions and then scattered the sweet potatoes around. Sweet potatoes are a nice, colorful addition!!!
I made this for my vegan son’s family. The flavors were nice, however the sweet potato didn’t really fit in with the rest of the recipe. It needs to be blended with the pepper mixture or the bean mixture. As it is, it is an odd ingredient, like an after thought. If it weren’t for that, I would give it a higher rating. Not sure if I will make it again.
