1) Boil the sweet potato and chickpeas together for about 25 minutes or until tender. Drain. Transfer back to the pot or a bowl and add the garlic, salsa, and chili powder. Mash together until you get the consistency you want. Stir in fresh cilantro.
Source of recipe: I had this idea and it turned out too amazingly yummmy to not share! I have named it sweet chica mash because it's kind of like taking boring mashed potatoes and turning them into a fiesta. And there's no pic, but it actually looks a lot more appetizing than you'd think.
