This dish is a wonderful way to mix up your usual taco night routine. Everyone loves how the natural sweetness of the potato pairs perfectly with the savory, spiced meat and fresh toppings.

My best tip is to prick the potatoes with a fork a few times before baking so they cook evenly without bursting. It makes the texture so much fluffier.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh salsa
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them all over with a fork.

  3. 3

    Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until they are fork tender.

  4. 4

    While the potatoes bake, brown the ground meat in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Drain any excess fat from the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water according to the packet instructions.

  6. 6

    Add the black beans to the meat mixture and let it simmer for a few minutes.

  7. 7

    Slice the baked potatoes open down the center and gently fluff the inside with a fork.

  8. 8

    Spoon the meat and bean mixture into each potato.

  9. 9

    Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and avocado slices before serving.

💡 Tips

Store leftover meat and potato components in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. You can easily reheat these in the microwave or oven when you are ready for a quick meal.
