Today I have a recipe for you that is not only super tasty, but SUPER healthy! Personally, we have been trying to eat healthier now that it’s a new year, and this is a great recipe to keep you full, but not load a bunch of calories onto your hips. It’s incredibly quick to make, and totally yummy. These Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are seriously delicious and the perfect weeknight meal! Want to save time?? You can make sweet potatoes in the AIR FRYER or in the INSTANT POT!

When I make these Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, I take the easy way – microwaving the potatoes. It’s quick, it’s easy, and I am done in 10 minutes. High power, 8-10 minutes, and BOOM, done. Make sure you poke holes in the potatoes before you cook them!

However, if you have more time on your hands, or say you spend an hour in the beginning of the week cooking a bunch of potatoes, then by all means use your oven. Bake these bad boys for about 50 minutes, on 350 degrees, and they should be pretty tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, you can whip up your filling – it’s super quick and easy. You only need a handful of ingredients: onions, black beans, corn, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, lime, and cilantro. Cook everything up in your skillet and BOOM, done. You’re going to scoop out a bit of the potato filling (save that stuff for later, yum!), and then load it up with your southwestern filling! Add a dollop of Greek yogurt (extra protein), a sprinkle of cheese, and garnish with cilantro. Like I said, so easy, so good.  The best part about these, they only have about 230 calories for the WHOLE (2 halves) potato (interested in all the nutritional info, scroll all the way to the bottom)! I don’t know about you, but I feel like you can’t really beat that! I feel like you can eat this as a side to your main dish, or you can eat it as the main dish; it’s totally versatile!
