Twice Baked Mexican Sweet Potato Boats

Mexican food sounded AH-mazing today, and chicken fajitas would have hit the spot. Unfortunately, I'm trying to cut meat back out of my diet so the chicken was a no-go but my Mexican Sweet Potato Boats will definitely be on the menu again in the near future.

Instructions:

  • Set the oven to 400 degrees

  • Start by slicing a sweet potato longways down the middle and coring out the center, setting aside the shreddings for later.

  • Brush the insides of the cored sweet potato with coconut or olive oil, place on a foiled pan and bake for 15 minutes.

  • I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon over the cored sweet potatoes for more flavor, not necessary but it added to the overall sweet and savory vibe I was going for.

  • While the potato skins are baking, mix together your preferred fillings. I used a combo of tri-color quinoa, yellow corn, black beans, sweet potato shreds, sweet onions, roasted red tomatoes, and peppers. Sautée everything together in a pan adding in enchilada sauce and a pinch of cinnamon. (You can also add in a protein if you prefer a non-vegetarian option)

  • Remove potato skins from the oven, and taking your filling, add several spoonfuls to each potato skin.

  • Top each "boat" with shredded cheese and place back in the oven for 20 minutes to bake.

  • Enjoy! :)
