  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 TBSP Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 Jalepeno Deseeded Use whole Jalepeno for really spicy sauce
  • Juice of 1/2 Lime
  • 1 TBSP Fresh Cilantro Leaves
  • BLACK BEAN INGREDIENTS
  • 2 Garlic cloves Minced
  • 1 TBSP Onions Diced
  • 2 Cups Black Beans Cooked

  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Spanish Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • Fresh Cilantro, Shredded Cheese and Salsa For additional toppings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Rinse sweet potatoes & cut off all the bad parts. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake till potatoes are completely soft. Usually takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the potato.
  • While potatoes are baking, make the guac sauce & black beans.
  • For the Black Beans: Chop small red onion, saute in olive oil or avocado oil until soft. Rinse black beans, add to onions. Add all spices to black beans, and cook for approximately 5 minutes. If needed add a small amount of water to keep beans and onions from burning onto the pan.
  • For the spicy guac sauce: Place all ingredients in a high speed blender. Blend until all ingredients are completely blended or allow sauce to have small pieces in it.
  • Ground Chorizo goes very well with sweet potatoes, I know that my husband especially loved it!
  • Last but not least, cut your potato down the middle & stuff with all your favorite toppings!
