Stuffed sweet potato skins topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 200g each)
- 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 can (450 g) bourbon-brown sugar baked beans
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (reserve the dark green part for serving)
- 1 jalapeño, seeded, thawed and diced
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 avocado, diced
- 280 g raw Mexican chorizo sausage (or 4 sausages without casings)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Cut the tubers in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl. Rub the empty skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Return the skins to the baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the beans in a bowl with the sweet potato pulp; add the cumin, chili powder, green onion, and jalapeño and stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the sweet potato skins from the oven and fill them with the bean mixture. Place a rack on the baking sheet. Arrange the stuffed sweet potato skins on the rack and bake until the filling is heated through and lightly browned on top, another 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, lime juice, and avocado in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Drain. Spoon the hot meat mixture over the sweet potato skins, drizzle with sour cream sauce, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
