Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Let cool slightly, then slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create space for the filling.

  3. Make the Cilantro Lime Crema

    In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt until smooth and creamy.

  4. Assemble & Serve

    Spoon the black bean & avocado mixture into each sweet potato half. Drizzle with cilantro lime crema and garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.

  5. Enjoy!

    Serve warm and savor this nutritious and satisfying meal!
