  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ red onion, diced

Toppings: 

  • 1 avocado, mashed or diced
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free sour cream or plain coconut yogurt
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional, for heat)
  • Extra cilantro & lime wedges

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt, then place on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  2. To make the filling, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion & bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add black beans, corn, tomato, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and cilantro.
  3. To assemble, slice each sweet potato open and gently fluff the inside with a fork. Fill with the black bean & corn mixture. Top with avocado, dairy-free sour cream, salsa, jalapeños, and extra cilantro.
  4. Serve warm with extra lime wedges for a fresh, zesty kick!
