Avocado Stuffed Sweet Potato
Servings: 4
Prep time: 15
Total time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- 2 cups of diced sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup Chihuahua cheese
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of cumin
- ½ teaspoon of chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon of paprika
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tablespoon of minced shallots
- Sriracha sauce
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is heating, boil the diced sweet potatoes for 5-8 minutes until fork tender. Strain them and lay them out on a sheet pan so that some of the excess moister escapes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until very hot. Add the cooked sweet potatoes and brown on each side for 3-5 minutes over medium heat. Add in the seasonings along with the garlic and shallots. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes until shallots are translucent.
Open the avocados and remove the pit and peel. Place each half face up on a sheet pan or muffin and fill them with the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the Chihuahua cheese on top and place them in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and garnish with Sriracha sauce and cilantro.
