👩🍳 Cooking Instructions
1Dice 1 sweet potato and chop 1 onion. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the diced sweet potato and chopped onion for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is fork-tender.
2Stir in the sliced bell pepper and the drained black beans. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until all vegetables are heated through and slightly softened. Season with salt and pepper.
3Remove the skillet from the heat source. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds until they are evenly mixed throughout the warm hash mixture.
4Divide the sweet potato and black bean hash among serving plates. Top each plate generously with Greek yogurt, and sprinkle the remaining chia seeds over the top for garnish. Serve immediately.
