Notes
- Use even-sized sweet potatoes: So they cook at an even rate.
- Don’t forget to prod the potatoes: This helps the heat permeate the potato and also stops steam from building up within and causing potato explosions.
- Finely dice the veggies: So you can eat a bit of everything in each bite of these southwest black bean stuffed sweet potatoes.
- If you have leftover toppings: Black bean salsa will work with tacos, vegan tostadas, in a rice bowl, burritos, etc.
