  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • ½ tsp olive oil for the potatos
  • ½ tsp each salt & pepper
  • 1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
  • ¼ small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 Jalapeño, diced *optional
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 4oz can green chilies I use medium or hot

  • ¾ cup sour cream optional
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced or turned into guac
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro

Notes

  • Avoid overbaking the sweet potatoes so they remain firm enough to hold the beef stuffing. Taste and adjust seasonings as you cook to suit your preference. Feel free to customize toppings with additional sour cream, salsa, avocado, pumpkin seeds, or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen up to 2 months.
