Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Southwestern Style

Save time on dinner and make this meal-in-one tonight.

If you think a baked sweet potato is only good topped with butter and sugar and served alongside a steak, this stuffed potato recipe will change your mind. Full of flavor, this is unlike any sweet potato dish you’ve ever had. It’s healthy, filling, and when served with a green salad it becomes a delicious meal. The filling is a deliciously seasoned combination of corn, black beans, and tomatoes, while the light sweetness of the sweet potato compliments the spices beautifully. If you’re looking for a way to add sweet potatoes to your diet that doesn’t include butter and marshmallows, these southwestern style potatoes heartily fit the bill.
