Ingredients

1 ½ - 2 lbs. cooked sweet potatoes baked*
1 Tbsp. olive oil
½ red onion finely chopped
1 jalapeno finely chopped
1 garlic clove crushed
1 cup sweet kernel corn canned and drained
1 cup black beans canned, rinsed and drained
1 ½ Tbsp. taco seasoning mix*
½ - ¾ tsp. salt to taste
1 cup roma tomatoes diced
1 large avocado diced
¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
Sour cream optional
Cheese optional

Instructions

Prepare and cook sweet potatoes by baking in the oven or in an Instant Pot.
In a large skillet over medium heat sauté red onion and jalapeño in olive oil for 3-4 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Add crushed garlic and continue sautéing for 1 minute.
Mix in corn, black beans, taco seasoning mix, and salt, to taste.* Continue cooking over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until all ingredients are heated through.
Serve equal amounts of the corn and bean mixture in each sweet potato with ¼ cup diced tomatoes, ¼ of an avocado, and cilantro.
Add sour cream and cheese, can be dairy-free, if desired, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Homemade taco seasoning was used in this recipe. If using a store bought taco seasoning mix, you may want to adjust the amount of it and salt you use accordingly.
You want the bean and corn mixture to be slightly on the salty side if you did not salt and pepper your sweet potatoes before cooking.
Total time is based on cooking sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot. Baking sweet potatoes in the oven will take more time.
