Ingredients

  • 4-6 medium sweet potatoes
  • 14 oz canned black beans
  • 14 oz canned corn or frozen
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • cilantro about 1/2 cup chopped

toppings:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Using fork, poke about 6 holes in potatoes, place directly on oven rack with foil lining bottom rack, or use lined baking sheet. You may also place potatoes directly on grill. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until soft.
  • While the potatoes are baking, make your stuffing: In a medium-large skillet, cook down garlic and chopped onion for about 5 minutes. Add in black beans, corn, and spices. Combine and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, then stir in chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and cover with foil until potatoes are done.
  • Once potatoes are ready, slice down the middle and start stuffing! Top with fresh pico, more cilantro, and GoAvo spread!

Notes

-Not vegan? Feel free to add your favorite lean meat for more protein!
You may have left over black bean & corn stuffing if only making 4 potatoes. Store leftovers in container in fridge and use on top of salads, nachos, in wraps, and more!
