Ingredients
- 8 small sweet potatoes washed
For the black bean mixture:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 small onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 540 mL or 19 oz cans no salt-added black beans (or 3.5 cups cooked beans)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Juice of one lime or more to taste
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
For garnish

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each sweet potato all over with a fork.
- Spray baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and place sweet potatoes on sheet. Bake for 45-60min until flesh is tender.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-sized skillet heat oil over medium heat. Cook the onions and garlic until softened and fragrant (approximately 3-5 minutes). Add the chili powder, cumin and beans and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add the lime juice, salt and pepper and stir until combined.
- Next, prepare a batch of the avocado creme.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, cut in half lengthwise and use a fork to slightly mash the inside of the potato, leaving the skin intact. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and pepper, if desired.
- Top each potato half with black bean mixture and avocado creme. Garnish with additional chili powder, cumin, chopped cilantro, and green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
