When we’re looking for something healthy and satisfying to eat, sweet potatoes are always top of the list. Here, we’ve given this versatile vegetable the “twice baked” treatment and loaded it up with all of our favorite taco fixings like chorizo, black beans, Mexican crema and shredded cheese. To keep things fresh and interesting, these baked beauties are then finished with a crowning dollop of guacamole and a vibrant, crunchy slaw. Think of these guys like a loaded potato skin, but so much better. Serve them as a healthy mid-week dinner, or use smaller sweet potatoes and serve as a filling game day snack. Also, at around $25 in grocery costs, this recipe makes for an incredibly affordable weeknight family dinner.
This recipe is very easy to customize based on your dietary preferences. You can swap out the chorizo for ground turkey, or leave the meat out altogether and add sautéed greens for a vegetarian version. Dairy free? Skip the cheese and crema and bind the filling with olive oil, vegan sour cream or dairy-free cheese.
