1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 small), cut into 1/2-in. dice
1 tablespoon New Mexico chile powder, or 1/2 to 1 tsp. cayenne or ancho chile powder

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and sweet potatoes and cook, stirring, until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, zest orange and lime into a small bowl (you should have about 1 tbsp. orange zest and 2 tsp. lime zest). Add cilantro. Quarter lime. Reserve orange for another use.
