Notes
Dice sweet potatoes evenly: Smaller, uniform pieces cook more quickly and evenly.
Add kale at the end: It wilts fast—adding it last keeps it from overcooking.
Cover the skillet to steam: Helps the sweet potatoes soften faster without drying out.
Taste and season as you go: Adjust lime, salt and pepper to your preference.
