Black Bean Chipotle Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Servings: 4 stuffed potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium/large-size sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper cored and diced
  • 2 jalapenos cored and diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt & pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder*
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce + 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can**
  • 1 15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • optional toppings: cilantro Greek yogurt or cashew sour cream, shredded cheese, diced green onions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F then scrub the sweet potatoes and cut off any bad spots. Insert the knife into the center of each potato 3-4 times then place them directly on the rack of the oven. Place a layer of foil or parchment paper on the rack beneath them to catch any of the juices as they cook.  Bake for 30-45 minutes (time will vary depending on their size), until soft.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling by warming the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and the peppers (bell pepper & jalapeno), sprinkle with salt & pepper and cook for about 3 minutes. Then add the cumin and the chili powder and cook for another 2 minutes while continuing to stir.
  • Next pour in the diced tomatoes, the adobo sauce with the chipotle pepper and the black beans. Stir everything together and cook over a low boil for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven with oven mitts and transfer them to individual plates. Carefully slice them open down the center and then use a fork to lightly mash the inside. Spoon the black bean filling inside until each one is stuffed full then top with green onion, cilantro, and other desired toppings. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

*The chili powder I use (Simply Organic brand) is not spicy. Make sure you are using a mild chili powder or you will need to reduce the amount.
**Adobo peppers are very spicy. If you would prefer a mild level of spice, I recommend adding one to two tablespoons of the sauce and leaving out the pepper.
