How to Make It
1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the sweet potatoes, prick with a fork, and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 45–60 minutes until fork-tender.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and red bell pepper and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Add black beans, corn, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
3. Make the Avocado Lime Sauce
Blend avocado, lime juice, garlic, olive oil (or water), salt, and cilantro (if using) until smooth and creamy. Add more lime juice or water to thin if needed.
4. Assemble the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Slice sweet potatoes open and gently mash the inside with a fork. Spoon the black bean mixture into each potato, then drizzle generously with avocado lime sauce.
5. Garnish and Serve
Top with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños if desired. Serve warm!
