Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper; spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut sweet potatoes into fry shapes; toss in olive oil and spices. Spread out on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes; flip fries; bake for an additional 20 minutes.
While the fries are baking, drain and rinse black beans; chop the onion, jalapeno and tomatoes. Place the beans and chopped veggies in a small bowl. Season with the juice of 1 lime, chili powder, and crushed garlic.
When the fries come out of the oven, top them with the veggie mix; sprinkle with the cheese. Return to oven; bake for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Serve, garnished with avocado and fresh cilantro, if desired.
Makes 2 large dinner portions or 4 side dish servings.
