Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 649kcal
Ingredients
- 6 large sweet potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large sweet onion diced
- 1 can black beans drained
- 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning* (1 package or make your own)
- ½ cup water
Your favorite toppings:
- 1 cup cheese
- 1 cup tomatoes diced
- 1 cup guacamole or mashed avocado
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup jalapeños chopped
Instructions
- Immediately start by pre-heating oven to 425Ëš F. Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork or knife and place in pre-heated oven for 40-50 minutes depending on the size of your sweet potatoes. You'll know they're ready if they can easily be pierced through with a knife.
- In a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat with olive oil, cook onions until slightly tender. Add your ground beef and stir until meat is cooked through. Add black beans and taco seasoning. Stir until mixture is warm, about 1 minute.
- When sweet potatoes are done, remove from oven and cut them open lengthwise. Fluff the inside of the sweet potato with a fork and make a little well for the taco mixture. Spoon taco mixture inside. Top with favorite ingredients like cheese, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, mashed avocado, or sour cream.
Notes
*I always make my own taco seasoning unless I am out of particular spices. See this post for how easy this actually is!Â
