Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Bake on a baking sheet for 45-60 minutes until tender.
- In a mixing bowl, combine black beans, corn, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Prepare lime crema by mixing Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
- Once sweet potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, cut lengthwise and mash the insides slightly. Fill each potato with the bean mixture and top with shredded cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until melted.
