- 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, avocado, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce.
- 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.
