BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• Place sweet potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 60-75 minutes until sweet potatoes are just tender and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, prepare corn and black bean salad. Place rinsed beans in a medium sized bowl with the thawed corn. Add chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, minced garlic, sliced scallions, lime juice, olive oil, and kosher salt. Toss to combine.
• When sweet potatoes are cooked, remove from oven and turn oven to 'broil'. Slice each sweet potato in half length wise and squeeze the sweet potato together just a bit to mash the inside. Sprinkle each sweet potato with desired amount of shredded cheese. (You could use a few tablespoons or up to 1/4 cup on each sweet potato.)
• Broil the sweet potatoes until cheese is melted- about 2 minutes.
• Divide black bean and corn mixture evenly between the potatoes. Top with a 1/4 of the diced avocado and serve with a lime wedge or two.

STUFFED SWEET POTATOES WITH BEANS AND GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Toss with 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. cayenne, and 1/4 tsp. cumin on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange cut side up and roast until fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and half of garlic and cook, stirring, until onion starts to release moisture and turns translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add beans, broth, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. cayenne and 1/4 tsp. cumin and cook until liquid is reduced and beans soften, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash avocado and remaining garlic in a medium bowl with a fork until smooth. Stir in 2 Tbsp. cilantro, 1 Tbsp. lime juice, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt.
• Add spinach and remaining 1 Tbsp. lime juice to bean mixture. Continue to cook until spinach wilts, about 30 seconds.
• Using the back of a spoon, gently push down in center of potato halves to create a divot. Spoon bean mixture into potato halves, then top evenly with 2 Tbsp. avocado mixture, quesco fresco, and remaining 1 Tbsp. cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips, if using, and remaining avocado dip alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Potatoes and beans can be made 3 days ahead; store separately, cover, and chill. Reheat potatoes in oven and beans in skillet before serving.

LOADED SWEET POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Halve sweet potatoes lengthwise, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt.
• Place cut side down on prepared sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Take sweet potatoes out of the oven, turn them over and let cool slightly. Use a fork to rough up the flesh and slightly flatten the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide half the cheese among the potato halves. Spoon the black beans over them, then cover with the remaining cheese. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the beans have warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
