MEXICAN STUFFED SWEET POTATO

Ingredients
(serves 4 or makes leftovers!)

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 bag frozen yellow corn
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 quart of cherry or grape tomatoes
  • Vegan sour cream (I love the Kite Hill brand!) or regular if you’re not DF, to taste
  • Salsa, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, to taste

Directions

  1. Wash your sweet potatoes well and then poke them several times with a fork to allow air to escape while roasting.
  2. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven on 400 degrees F for about 45 min or until soft.
  3. While the sweet potato is roasting, prep the rest of your ingredients.
  4. Dice and sauté the onion, or use any pre-prepped caramelized onion you may have in your fridge.
  5. Heat the black beans on the stovetop over low heat.
  6. Cook the corn on the stovetop or microwave in a microwave-safe glass bowl with water. Please do not microwave in the plastic bag!! Avoid those microplastics when you can.
  7. Wash and half the tomatoes.
  8. Wash and chop the cilantro.
  9. When the sweet potatoes are soft with a fork easily sticking into them, remove from the oven. Add each to a plate and slice in half to open. Stuff them full of all the other ingredients (some overflow will happen, don’t sweat it!) and enjoy!
  10. P.S., if the plated version is too messy for you, just scoop the sweet potato into a bowl, add the toppings, and enjoy as a bowl!
