Loaded Veggie Baked Sweet Potato

One of my daughters and I have been on a major baked potato kick lately!!!

You are DEFF going to want to give this loaded potato a try if you’re looking for something a little different!

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium sized sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp olive or canola oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1-1/3 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup mild or spicy salsa
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions or cilantro

Directions:

  1. Poke holes in the potato with a fork, cook on your microwave’s potato setting until potatoes are soft and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes on high for 4 potatoes) or bake about 45 minutes at 400°F.
  2. Combine yogurt and taco seasoning in a small bowl, mix well.
  3. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
  4. Add peppers, onions, chili powder, paprika, cumin and salt; cook until the onions have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add black beans, stir to combine and heat through (about another 5 minutes).
  6. Slice the potato lengthwise down the middle or as I did in the photo, use a fork to pierce the top in an oval shape, then remove the top of each potato.
  7. Top with 2 tbsp shredded cheese, 1/3 cup of black bean mixture, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt mixture and 2 tbsp salsa of salsa.
  8. Enjoy!
