Additional comments:
-----------------------------------------------------
I usually use red beans for this dish, but I've also used kidney beans and black beans. I think any kind of bean will do.

The recipe is pretty spicy as is, but the sweetness of the sweet potato sets off ths spiciness of the bean mixture. However, you can leave off the cayenne and lower the amount of chili powder to make it less spicy.

Sometimes the beans get really dry so you may want to add a bit of water to them while you're heating them on the stove.

I make a similar version - it's best with black beans for some reason, the flavors seem to be perfect for each other.

I was wondering about navy or canellini beans too.

Hmmm, I'm very narrow minded with beans. I only like navy in bean soup and a hummus-kinda dip. And canellini in Italian kale-sausage soup or other Italian applications...

Black beans go with other things - like sometimes with sweet potatoes. {shrug} I don't know, I'm weird that way, now you know.

Valid.

I'm gonna have to try them with different variations. I'm curious about regular pintos too.

i had friends over here tonite and i made these and a couple of omnivore guys literally begged me to make them for their StupidBowl party in a couple of weeks (i get big love cuz i can cook lol.) they were that good. i kicked up the spicing, used pinto beans and had salsa and avocados along with it. they were yummy for sure! so, i will be making them again :)

Do I use actual sweet potatoes, yams, or does it matter? I'm asking because I know a lot of people don't know the difference.

Free recipes are great!

This one is really easy too...I've found that most recipes in cook books are way too complicated, or they have so many darn ingredients in it, you have to re-stock your pantry to make one thing!

Made this last night... I too used taco seasoning because I don't actually have a spice rack (yeah, I know).

They were amazing! Thanks so much for the recipe!
