I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices or herbs to give it more flavor. Otherwise, it was a good vegetarian option.

This was a great way to use up some leftover beans and sweet potatoes. The dish was simple to prepare and had a nice balance of flavors. I added a bit of extra cilantro for some freshness.
