    This was a hit. I did cook the potatoes a little longer. So yummy and healthy!

    This turned out good! Next time I will cook the sweet potatoes longer before adding the rest of the ingredients. (I had some pieces that were a little harder than I like.) For the spices listed above I did 1 1/2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and some extra salt.
