Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Servings: 4
Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 avocado, shelled
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 c black beans, cooked I sprout mine first
  • 1/4 c chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 c purple cabbage, chopped
  • 1/4 c carrots, shredded or minced
  • salt to taste
  • black sesame seeds, toasted
  • cotija cheese optional
  • Mary's Gone Crackers Jalapeño flavor, crumbled on top optional

Method
 

  1. Wash the sweet potatoes, and rub them down with coconut oil.
  2. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork and set on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the oven for 40-60 min.
  3. Remove the potatoes from the oven, once a fork easily pierces through to the middle.
  4. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the garlic and lime juice.
  5. Chop any vegetables you haven’t prepped yet, and mix them well in a medium bowl with the beans and cilantro.
  6. Once the potatoes are done cooking, slice them down the middle, about 1/2 inch from each end. This way, once you open them, you can push the ends together to kind of scrunch it open more in the middle. 
  7. Put a scoop of the veggie and bean mix into each potato, then a scoop of the avocado mixture, top with a little more veggies and beans. 
  8. Sprinkle with salt, toasted sesame seeds  and cotija. For a crunchy, spicy kick – top with crumbled jalapeño crackers!
