The title says it all:

Easy. Black Beans. Sweet Potatoes. Avocado.

It's good????[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text="If you've ever felt that your meal just isn't keeping you satisfied, then I think you're gonna love this recipe for Easy Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Avocado." google_fonts="font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="12004" img_size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]So the combo tastes great (win????); it's easy to make (????) and it's super healthy.

What makes it so healthy? Well for one, we've got a hit of healthy carbs that comes from the black beans and sweet potatoes. Plus, the slow digesting starch will keep your blood sugars stable and prevent hangriness later.

The protein is another win for this recipe too: the black beans give an awesome protein punch and if that's not enough, the avocado gives you some healthy fats. WOW.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Getting these Easy Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Avocado on the table is super easy, too. The only thing that takes some time is the roasting of the sweet potatoes.

Now you can microwave the sweet potatoes but roasting them in the oven (as I describe in the recipe) is waaaaay better. Roasting them really brings out the sweetness in these babies. The microwave works but be forewarned my friend: you don't get the sweet taste that roasting brings.

So if you want this meal to come together quickly, be sure to roast a few sweet potatoes on the weekend or whenever you have time and keep them in fridge. You can easily re-heat the sweet potato in the microwave when it comes time to eat and warm up the black beans with salsa when you need.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="11999" img_size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Alright friends; go and conquer. Conquer your hangriness with this filling and healthy recipe ????

Ingredients

1x2x3x

• 4 small-medium sweet potatoes
• 1 19oz can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 can (540ml)
• 1.5 cups salsa
• taco seasoning
• 1 avocado, cut into chunks
• cilantro
• lime wedges

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. Wash and scrub sweet potatoes. Poke with a fork (about 6 times) and wrap in tinfoil. Bake in pre-heated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until soft and cooked through.
• Ten minutes before the potatoes are done, place the rinsed black beans in a medium pot. Add salsa and taco spice. Stir to combine.
• After heating for a couple minutes, mash the black bean mixture with a potato masher or a fork, breaking some of the beans up. Heat on medium for about 6-7 minutes.
• Once the potatoes are done in the oven, unwrap from the tinfoil and cut down the centre. Top each half with the heated black bean mixture. Top with avocado chunks, cilantro and a squirt of fresh lime juice. Serve warm.

Notes

This is a great recipe to prep on the weekend by baking the sweet potatoes when you have time and then making the black bean filling 10 minutes before you want to eat.

The sweet potatoes and black bean mixture keep in the fridge (in separate containers) for up to 3 days. Just re-heat in the microwave before serving.

If you don't have taco seasoning, you use chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper.

Or you can make your own taco seasoning:

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1.5 tablespoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon oregano
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
