1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet potato, diced
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder, divided
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon onion powder, divided
¼ teaspoon chile powder with lime (such as Trader Joe's Chile Lime Seasoning Blend®)
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 tablespoon water
