Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a flavorful and healthy twist on traditional tacos. Roasted sweet potatoes are filled with seasoned ground meat, black beans, and a variety of toppings, making them a satisfying and nutritious meal option.

 

Ingredients

– 4 medium sweet potatoes

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1/2 cup diced yellow onion

– 2 teaspoons minced garlic

– 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey

– 1 packet taco seasoning

– 1/3 cup tomato sauce

– 1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– Optional toppings:

– Shredded cheddar cheese

– Salsa

– Sour cream

– Avocado or guacamole

– Chopped cilantro

– Jalapeño slices

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the sweet potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45–60 minutes, or until tender.

2. While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

4. Add ground meat to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

5. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and black beans. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each potato lengthwise down the center and gently fluff the insides with a fork.

7. Spoon the taco meat mixture into each sweet potato.

8. Top with your choice of optional toppings and serve warm.

 

Notes

– For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and increase the amount of black beans or add other beans like pinto or kidney beans.

– Sweet potatoes can be baked ahead of time and reheated before serving.

– Customize the toppings to your preference; other options include chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or hot sauce.
