Ingredients

The filling

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 can corn, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ yellow onion chopped
  • 2–4 individual chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced or pureed
  • 1 ounce light cream cheese
  • ¼ cup light sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped

The topping

  • 6 tablespoons shredded cheese (Pepperjack, Cheddar, Colby Jack, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the sweet potatoes for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Roast the corn in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat without oil, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes until browned.
  3. Sauté the chopped onion in butter over medium heat until soft, then set aside.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes, cut in half, and scoop out the flesh, leaving the skins intact.
  5. Mix the sweet potato flesh with cream cheese, sour cream, chipotle peppers, and salt, then fold in the black beans, roasted corn, sautéed onions, and cilantro.
  6. Fill the sweet potato skins with the mixture, topping each with shredded cheese, and broil for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
