Instructions
- Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 4 medium sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then place cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick the sweet potatoes in a few places with a fork. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until fork tender. Remove potatoes but leave oven on when finished.
- Filling: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced red onion, 1 red bell pepper, and 2 cloves garlic, cooking until onion is a bit soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. When finished, stir in 1 15-oz can corn and 1 15-oz can black beans.
- Scoop: Once sweet potatoes are cooked, pick up each half (using a paper towel to keep your hand from burning) and scoop out the flesh, leaving about ¼ inch on all sides to act as the bowl for your fillings. Transfer scooped out sweet potato flesh to a medium bowl, and combine it with the ¼ cup sour cream, 2 to 4 adobo peppers in chipotle sauce, and ½ tsp salt.
- Assemble: Fold together the veggie mixture with the sour cream mixture. Stuff each hollowed potato skin with the filling (you will have leftover filling*).
- Sauce: Blend all Cilantro Sauce ingredients until smooth (if you have a handheld immersion blender or small blender use it here–sometimes the small ingredient amounts make this recipe tricky for larger blenders).
- Bake: Place stuffed sweet potatoes back onto the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Serve warm, topped cilantro sauce!
Notes
- *Leftover mixture is great for for making fritters! Stir 1 egg and about ¼ cup of flour (or enough to make dough shapable) to the leftover mixture. Shape into patties and cook in an oiled pan until both sides are golden brown.
