Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium saucepan bring stock to boiling. Stir in rice. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 45 minutes or until rice is tender and broth is absorbed. Remove from heat. Fluff with a fork and stir in cilantro and green onion.

In a bowl stir together beans and salsa.

Divide rice among serving bowls. Top with sweet potato mixture and bean mixture. Drizzle with Cashew Cream. If desired, sprinkle with toppings and additional cilantro, green onions, and/or chili powder and serve with lime wedges. 1 1/2 cups per serving. Yields 2 cups rice, 2 1/2 cups sweet potato mixture, + 1 1/2 cups bean mixture.
Cashew Cream
