Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Serves 4

Ingredients

0.5 unit avocado
0.94 lb Black beans - low sodium
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp chili powder
1 oz cilantro
0.25 tsp cumin, ground
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp lime juice
1.5 tbsp olive oil
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.5 unit red onion
0.5 tsp sea salt (or kosher salt)
0.5 cup Sour Cream (High-fat)
5 unit sweet potatoes

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the sweet potatoes on a lightly greased baking tray and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a fork can easily be inserted into the flesh of the potatoes.

Prepare the cream sauce by whisking together the sour cream, lime juice, and black pepper. Set aside.

When the sweet potatoes have about 10 minutes left, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and then add in onion. Saute for 5 minutes until the onions begins to become translucent. Add in the spices stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Add the black beans to the skillet and toss to combine. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the black beans are fully heated through. About 5 minutes. Take off of heat and set aside.

Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, let cool slightly. Once cool, cut the sweet potatoes open and shred the flesh from the skin so that the inside is mashed and easy to scoop out.

Evenly spread the black bean mixture, avocado, cilantro, and sour sauce on top of the sweet potatoes. Leave sour cream off several sweet potatoes for lactose-intolerant people.

Serve immediately and ENJOY!!
