Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the Vegetable Oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.

2. 2

   Add the onion and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.

3. 3

   Stir in the garlic plus the ground cumin, chili powder and dried oregano; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

4. 4

   Add the sweet potato, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

5. 5

   Pour in the tomato sauce, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the sweet potato is tender.

6. 6

   Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
