Equipment

  • Microwave
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro fresh, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pepitas or sunflower seeds optional

For The Chipotle Sauce (See notes for WFPB option)

Instructions
 

  • Clean sweet potatoes and puncture all around with a fork or paring knife. Place in a microwavable casserole dish and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 5 minutes on high. Flip and continue microwaving for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
  • While the potatoes are microwaving, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayo, chipotle powder and liquid smoke. Slowly add the water and whisk until the mayo has a sauce consistency. You may not need all of the water, or you may want to add a bit more depending on your own preferred consistency.
  • Split each baked sweet potato down the middle and open it up to form a pouch.
  • Fill each potato with half of each ingredient in the following order: black beans, diced tomato, chipotle sauce and cilantro.
  • Garnish your Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with roasted pepitas or sunflower seeds to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

WFPB (Oil-Free) Variation:
