Recipe for stuffed sweet potato with taco style filling

A super easy, healthy, and filling recipe with sweet potatoes filled with Mexican (or rather Tex-Mex) taco style stuffing. They taste so yummy as the sweetness of the sweet potatoes really highlight the Mexican flavors. You can vary the stuffing in your sweet potatoes just as you wish. We love making pico de Gallo which consists of finely chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, fresh coriander, and green pepper. Additionally we feel that corn belongs in the Mexican kitchen so we like to add some of those as well.

Choice of meat stuffing

This recipe uses ground beef. You can also make a portion of pulled chicken or regular chicken breast sliced up in strips. If you wish to leave out any kind of meat, you can certainly opt for a vegetarian / vegan version as there is already so much good flavor in the other ingredients.
