If the primary spices in a meal include chili powder and cumin, I will probs love it. They are some of my most used spices, and I never get sick of the flavor they add to a dish. These Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potatoes include some of my favorite spices, and they hold up really well for your workweek meal prep.
Here’s what you’ll need…
2 large sweet potatoes, sliced the long way
1 can black beans
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup beefless crumbles or ground turkey
1 tbs chili powder
1 tbs cumin
2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 large, ripe avocado
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425F
- Combine beefless crumbles, beans, corn, and seasoning in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat. If you are using ground turkey or beef, cook this first before adding the other ingredients to the saucepan
- Bake sweet potatoes in a glass dish for 35 minutes, or until soft
- Allow sweet potatoes to cool, then scoop out the centers, forming a hollow sweet potato boat
