================================================================

In a quick and easy recipe by Taryn Williford of Eat Spin Run Repeat, you can enjoy a flavourful and nutritious dinner in less than an hour with the Loaded Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the 2 medium sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the flesh is soft.

While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, 2/3 cup black beans, 1/2 cup corn, 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and the juice of 2 limes. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.

Once the sweet potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. After cooling, use a fork to prick holes in the sweet potatoes. Then, cut slits down each lengthwise in the sweet potatoes and pull apart to create a well for fillings.

Next, spoon 2 tablespoons of the pepper and bean mixture into each sweet potato.

Finally, top each stuffed sweet potato with salsa, 1/2 avocado (diced), and cilantro (optional).

This recipe makes 2 stuffed sweet potatoes, making it perfect for a quick and easy dinner for two. The dish is a full dinner and can be prepared in less than an hour, with ten minutes required if the sweet potatoes are baked ahead of time.

The Loaded Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a delightful combination of flavours, with ingredients such as bell peppers, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, salsa, avocado, and cilantro. The cooking method involves baking the sweet potatoes and then stuffing them with a nutrient-rich mixture that resembles a lightning-fast vegetarian chili.

Enjoy this tasty and healthy meal!
