Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, halved
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bay leaf
- water, enough to fully cover the chicken
- 2 cups enchilada sauce (authentic enchilada sauce, easy enchilada sauce, green enchilada sauce or your favorite store-bought enchilada sauce)
- 1 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado peeled, seeded and diced
- 1/2 bunch cilantro, minced
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta cheese)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
To make the sweet potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Poke holes all around each sweet potato with a fork.
- Cover in foil and bake for 45-60 minutes, until tender and easy to cut through. (The bigger the sweet potatoes, the longer they'll need to bake.)
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, remove the foil and set aside until cool enough to handle.
To make the chicken
- In a dutch oven or pot, add chicken, onion, garlic, salt and bay leaf. Add enough water to cover the chicken and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 25 minutes, until chicken is tender and can be shredded with a fork.
- Remove the chicken from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate or cutting board. Shred the chicken, season with salt and set aside.
To assemble
- Heat the enchilada sauce and black beans on the stove or in the microwave, until hot.
- Cut the tops of each sweet potato into an oblong shape. (See the video in the recipe post for a visual example.) Scoop out a little of the inside so that you can fill it in with the toppings.
- Fill each sweet potato with shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, avocados, cilantro, cotija cheese and sour cream.
