Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pierce your potatoes a few times with a fork and place on a foil lined baking sheet.
- For extra crispy skins, rub with oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Bake 45-60 minutes until tender.
- Choose your protein option(s) from the above list and cook via preferred method or dive into your fridge for last night's leftovers and get ready to make magic!
- Once your potatoes are done baking, allow to cool slightly and slice vertically.
- Fill with your choice of taco filling of choice (see above for tasty options; I went with black beans and leftover taco meat this time around) and top with cheese.
- For melty cheese, pop the potatoes back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, then pile mile-high with all your favorite taco toppings! Anything goes on taco night!
Notes
- SPEEDY SHORTCUT: Short on time? Skip baking in favor of microwaving.
- Pierce with a fork and cook on high for 7-8 minutes. Depending on size, yours may be done quicker or require an extra minute or two. Top with filling of choice from the list above and add cheese. Microwave for an additional 30-60 seconds and pile high with taco toppings!
- ON THE GO TIPS: These savory sweet potatoes make a great lunch for work or school!
- You can cook your sweet potato ahead of time or simply microwave it at the office. Pack your taco filling/cheese and toppings in two different containers.
