Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato approx. 13-16 ounces
- 2 cups leftover vegetarian chili (see post for my favorite recipes)
TOPPING OPTIONS:
- Pico de Gallo
- salsa
- diced tomatoes
- crushed tortilla chips
- Fritos corn chips
- hot sauce
- fresh cilantro
- chopped scallions
- black beans
- Sliced Jalapenos (fresh or pickled)
- sliced olives
- Sour Cream or Greek yogurt (regular or vegan)
- sliced or cubed avocado or try it with guacamole
- grated cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (skip for vegan)
- pickled red onion or raw chopped/sliced onion
I USED:
- 2 TBSP sour cream
- 1 TBSP chopped scallions
- ⅛ cup Fritos corn chips
Instructions
- Clean and scrub sweet potato then pierce a few times with a fork or knife.
- Wrap in a lightly damp paper towel and microwave for 8-10 minutes or until sweet potato is tender and cooked through. You can also opt to bake your potato at 400°F (minus the paper towel) for 45-60 minutes.
- When ready, the potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork or paring knife all the way to the center. Continue to microwave in 1-minute intervals if needed until cooked through. There are sometimes cook time variations based on potato size and microwave wattage.
- While the sweet potato cooks, reheat chili in a small pot on the stove. You can also opt to warm it up via microwave after the potato is done cooking - either works!
- Once cool enough to handle. Slice in half vertically and fluff the insides of each sweet potato "boat" with a fork.
- Fill each portion with a piping hot scoop of vegetarian chili and pile on the toppings. Enjoy!

Notes
- I wrote out the instructions for one, but feel free to make 2, 3, even four of these sassy spuds!
- I typically keep all the ingredients on hand and have them for super speedy lunches throughout the week. They can also be prepped for grab and go work lunches!
