Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound sweet potatoes -- peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick

slices

1 can black beans -- (19-ounce) rinsed and drained

1 banana -- thinly sliced

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 yellow summer squash -- thinly sliced

1 red onion -- thickly sliced

2 tomatoes -- thickly sliced

1/3 cup chili sauce

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup shredded jalappeno jack cheese -- (3 ounces)

 

WORKING TIME: 20 MINUTES

TOTAL TIME: 50 MINUTES

 

1. In a medium pot of boiling water, cook the sweet potatoes until

firm-tender, about 7 minutes. Drain well. In a medium bowl, toss the

potatoes gently with the beans, banana, lime juice, sugar, and salt.

 

2. preheat the grill. Tear off four 24-inch lengths of heavy-duty foil, fold

each in half to form a 12 x 18-inch rectangle, and spray with nonstick

cooking spray. Spoon the porato mixture into the center of each sheet. Top

with the squash, onion, and tomatoes. Drizzle the chili sauce and olive oil

over and sprinkle with the pepper. Top

with the cheese and seal the packets.

 

3. Place the packets on the grill, cover, and grill at medium, or inches

from the heat, for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are piping hot

and the squash is tender. Divide the packets among 4 plates and serve.

 

Helpful hint: The chili sauce used here is not an exotic ingredient-it's the

familiar spicy, tomato-based condiment sold in bottles next to the ketchup

at the supermarket.
