Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken or turkey
  • 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup corn
  • 2 tablespoons salsa
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them several times with a fork.
  3. Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  5. Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly, then slice them lengthwise.
  6. Carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin shell.
  7. Mash the scooped-out sweet potato flesh with the shredded chicken, black beans, and corn.
  8. Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins.
  9. Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and slightly golden.
  10. Top with salsa and Greek yogurt. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, use seasoned mashed chickpeas or lentils instead of chicken.
  • Add your favorite toppings like avocado, jalapeños, or a sprinkle of cheese.
  • Make sure the sweet potato shells are sturdy enough to hold the filling.
