Taco-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Another busy weekend for me, so I looked around for a quick stuffed sweet potato recipe to make and came across this taco one. I am a fan of any taco recipe that provides the ingredients to make your own taco seasoning because the ones over the counter usually have sugar in them. Anyways, baking sweet potatoes is pretty simple and the taco meat took no longer then 15 minutes to make. I decided to add some spinach into the meat instead of adding fresh lettuce, but that is just my preference (and a way for me to sneak some extra veggies in my life). I also adjusted some of the ingredient amounts from the original recipe so that I could get enough food for 6 meals. You can check out the link for the original recipe below to compare. This was another great meal that I recommend anyone who loves sweet potatoes to try!

Taco-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
 Ingredients:
  •  2 lb ground beef
  •  6 sweet potatoes
  •  1 onion, diced
  •  1 tomato, diced
  •  2 bell peppers, diced
  •  1 cup fresh lettuce, shredded (I opted for spinach)
  •  ½ cup chopped green onions
  •  Fresh salsa
 Taco Seasoning:
  •  1 tbsp. chili powder
  •  1 tsp. ground cumin
  •  ½ tsp. paprika
  •  ½ tsp. dried oregano
  •  ½ tsp. garlic powder
  •  Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

 Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 F.
  2. Scrub and pat potatoes dry. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork and bake in the oven, directly on rack, until soft (about 40 to 45 min. depending on the size of your potatoes).
  3. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the taco seasoning.
  4. Melt some cooking fat in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the onions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned.
  7. Sprinkle the taco seasoning onto the beef, and stir to combine. You may want to add 1 or 2 tbsp. of water if the meat is too dry or the seasoning is not mixing well.
  8. Cook the ground beef another minute or two and set aside.
  9. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in each potato and push ends of each potato toward each other to open.
  10. Fill the potatoes with the ground beef and top with all the remaining vegetables.
  11.  Serve with fresh homemade salsa.
