It is a great summer meal, and it is nice that it was so easy to make with our outdoor burner or grill (not heat up our hot summer kitchens).  The black beans and the sweet potatoes have a similar cook time on the grill, so you can start the potatoes and beans and then relax, the rest comes together in under 15 minutes.  

Once everything was cooked, we topped it off with a bit of fresh cilantro and lime juice.
