Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1–2 cups cooked black beans (about 10–20 oz)
- 1 cup cabbage, shredded
- ½ cup frozen corn, thawed
- ¼ cup oil-free salsa and/or 1 fresh tomato, diced
- ¼–½ avocado, sliced or diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes, or until they can easily be pierced with a fork.
- If you prefer them warm, heat the black beans up on the stovetop.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a plate and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice them lengthwise about half way down. Spread the sides apart to create a little bowl in the center of the sweet potato.
- Fill the sweet potatoes with the remaining ingredients, starting with the beans and finishing with the fresh cilantro. Serve right away to enjoy the hot-cold contrast.
