Serves: 4 (Serving= 1/2 stuffed sweet potato)

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, punctured with fork
  • 1 Tablespoon non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 medium avocado, peeled, seeded and mashed
  • ½-1 chipotle pepper, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup diced tomato
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 teaspoons sunflower seeds

Directions

  1. Wrap sweet potatoes in damp paper towels. Place on microwave safe plate and microwave for 6 minutes. Flip and microwave an additional 6 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Let cool for 2-4 minutes before handling.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, avocado, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce.
  3. Cut each potato in half and scoop out most of the flesh into a medium bowl, leaving some flesh in order for the potato to maintain structure. Add black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the bowl and mix well.
  4. Fill each potato half with sweet potato mixture. Top with tomato, avocado, chipotle sauce, cilantro and sunflower seeds.
