  • Author: ushinzomr

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes or until tender.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, in a large bowl, combine black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  5. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise and gently scoop out a bit of the flesh to create a well.
  6. Fill each sweet potato half with the black bean and corn mixture.
  7. Top with diced avocado and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve warm with lime wedges on the side.
