Ingredients

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
Spices: garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce sweet potatoes with a fork; bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 45-60 minutes until tender.
While baking, combine black beans, corn, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with lime juice; season to taste.
Once sweet potatoes are baked and slightly cooled, cut them lengthwise and mash the insides gently.
Fill each potato with the black bean mixture; top with cheese and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve topped with diced avocado and lime crema.
