Sweet Potato Black Bean Salsa

2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2), peeled & cubed
2 1/4 cups finely chopped tomatoes
1 13-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced 
1 bunch of cilantro - chopped
1/3 cup fresh lime juice*
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt & pepper to taste

1. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.  You want the cubes to be
    just a little bigger than the beans.  Place in a microwave dish
    with about 1/4 cup of water.  Microwave for about 5 min.  When
    they're soft - drain the water - and set aside to cool.

2. While waiting for the sweet potatoes to cool, put together the
     rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Once the sweet potatoes
     are cool,  add them to everything else. Mix well.

Great served with chips, or as a side salad, or with cheese and
 chicken on a quesadilla.  Very tasty on a taco salad.
