Instructions
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and cook them over medium to high heat with olive oil in a large pot for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, chop the onion, green pepper, garlic and jalapeño.
Add the black beans, corn, onions, green peppers, garlic and jalapeño to the sweet potatoes with a pinch of salt and cook together until the onions become transparent.
Remove the mixture from the pot and place in a medium bowl and cook the chorizo in the same pot until it’s well cooked. Add the chopped tomatoes and the sweet potato mixture back to the chorizo with the tomato sauce and the rest of the spices and cook for a half hour stirring every 10 minutes.
