Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium red onion, finely diced
- 1-1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 (1-ounce) package (low sodium) taco seasoning
- 1 (15-ounce) can unsalted black beans, drained & rinsed
- Handful of cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 avocado, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a fork can easily be inserted into the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and taco seasoning.
- In a skillet, heat oil on medium heat. Add in onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the onions become translucent.
- Add black beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the black beans are fully heated through. Take skillet off heat and set aside.
- Let baked sweet potatoes cool slightly, then cut them in half. Using a fork, shred the flesh from the skin so that the inside is mashed and easy to scoop out.
- Spread ⅛ of the black bean mixture, cilantro, and cream sauce on top of each sweet potato half. Top with chopped avocado, if desired.
- Refrigerate any leftovers within 2 hours.
