Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, thoroughly washed

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup cooked quinoa (or rice)

1 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional: shredded cheese or dairy-free alternative

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to heat up while you prepare the sweet potatoes.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: After washing, poke multiple holes in each sweet potato using a fork. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

      Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced red onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften. Incorporate the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

        Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, cooked quinoa (or rice), corn, and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Stir everything together until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

          Stuff the Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are baked and have cooled slightly, cut them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out a little of the flesh to create a cavity for your filling. Generously fill each half with the bean and quinoa mixture.

            Serve and Garnish: Present the stuffed sweet potato halves in bowls. Top each with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Drizzle with fresh lime juice right before serving. If you'd like, add a sprinkle of shredded cheese or a dairy-free alternative on top for extra creaminess.

              Enjoy: Dig into your vibrant and nutritious stuffed sweet potato taco bowls! They are perfect for a hearty meal that’s packed with flavor and nutrients.
