Ingredients

1 sweet potato
1/2 avocado
1/8 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup salsa
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a fork to poke holes all around the sweet potato. Place it on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes depending on size. Alternatively, microwave the sweet potato for eight to 10 minutes, until cooked through.

STEP 2

Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise. With the fleshy parts facing up, cut a slit lengthwise down the middle of each half. Use two forks to split open the sweet potato halves so you’re left with little pockets.

STEP 3

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the cumin and cayenne. Fill each sweet-potato boat with the avocado, followed by the black beans, corn, and salsa. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
