Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4-5 sweet potatoes
- 1 lb ground beef (I always go for grass-fed)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- taco seasoning (to taste)
- salt (to taste)
Optional toppings
- shredded cheese
- black beans
- corn
- salsa
- sour cream (sometimes I use plain coconut yogurt instead!)
- avocado
- green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash sweet potatoes and slice lengthwise. Drizzle avocado oil on the baking tray and then add the sweet potatoes skin side up. Bake around 45 minutes or until fork tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, sauté beef until there’s no pink left. Optional to drain some of the liquid.
- Add in tomato paste, salt, and taco seasoning and stir.
- Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and using a knife, carve out the middle of the sweet potatoes and scoop some out to make room for the taco meat.
- Add a few spoonfuls of taco meat to each sweet potato. If you add cheese, stick back in the oven until melted. Then add the rest of your toppings of choice!
