Sweet Potato Hash

One of my favorite vegetables is SWEET POTATOES. Run go buy some this week while they are on sale and make this dish. It is so good  and refreshing and a NEW  way  to eat them. Go easy on the sauce  to start off wih. I could have eaten the entire bowl byself. This is a keeper. Be sure and get the Southwestern-style corn and NOT the Mexican style. We ate this as a side with a pork roast.

1 T vegetable oil
1 11 oz can Southwestern-style corn with black beans and peppers, rinsed and drained

3 med avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
Fresh cilantro leaves
Chili powder (optional)  We used just a little.
