Recipe of Taco Stuffed Sweet Potato by Shanna

Ingredients

  • 1 Ib lean ground beef
  • 1 white onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp ground paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • Toppings
  • Shredded mozzarella
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Mashed avocado
  • Sour cream

Steps

  1. Poke holes all over your sweet potatoes with a fork. Then, add them to a bowl or a plate with some water. Pop into the oven and microwave for 10 minutes on a high setting. If not cooked after, give it another 5 minutes to cook. In case your microwave is too small, you'll have to cook these potatoes two at a time.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are being microwaved, heat up a skillet to medium-high heat. Add in ground beef, onion, and garlic - stir and cook until brown. It will take 5-7 minutes. Drain the grease.
  3. Add all of the spices and seasoning, salsa and water. Give it a good stir and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. When the potatoes are cooked, let them cool down a little, but cut lengthwise to open them up without cutting through completely.
  5. Stuff the potatoes with cooked beef mixture. Top up with mozzarella, tomatoes, mashed avocado, and sour cream. Enjoy!
