Description
Delicious stuffed sweet potatoes filled with ground beef, spices, and topped with cheese and guacamole.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 red onion (diced)
- 3 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar (depending on brand and preference)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2/3 cup chicken broth (or any broth)
- 1 cup corn
- 1/2 cup cilantro (diced)
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese
- 1/2 cup guacamole
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash your potatoes and dry well. Stab each with a fork a few times and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 45-60 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Exact bake time will depend on the size of your potatoes!
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Once it starts to brown, add in the diced onion and cook until the beef is cooked through.
- Mix in the spices, salt, brown sugar, cornstarch and broth. Stir well to combine, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture thickens.
- Stir in the corn and cilantro. When the potatoes are done, slice in half lengthwise and lightly mash the inside.
- Scoop the filling into the potatoes, then top with the tomatoes, cheese, guac, extra cilantro or whatever else you like. I also love a drizzle of my cilantro lime crema!
