Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
  • Place the sweet potatoes directly on the center rack of the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until cooked through. They should be tender when you stick a fork in. Allow to cool slightly before stuffing
  • While the sweet potatoes are cooking, place the black beans in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the Greek Yogurt, chili powder and lime juice.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are slightly cool, cut a line down the center to open them up. Fill each sweet potato with the cooked black beans, avocado and cilantro. Top with the Greek Yogurt sauce.
