Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then pierce each one with a fork. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
  4 medium sweet potatoes,2 tablespoons avocado oil
• While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until browned. Drain any excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning, mixing well to coat the beef evenly.
• ½ pound ground beef,1 ounce packet taco seasoning,1 medium onion
• Once the sweet potatoes are fully cooked, let them cool slightly before handling. Slice each one lengthwise about three-quarters of the way through, leaving the bottom intact. Use a fork to gently mash the flesh inside, creating space for the filling.
• Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into each sweet potato, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Add black beans and corn, distributing them evenly among the potatoes.
• ½ cup Mexican style blend cheese,1 cup canned black beans,1 cup canned corn
• Garnish with chopped cilantro, salsa, sour cream, sliced avocado, and jalapeños. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and serve immediately.
