Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

 Sorry, the picture is from about halfway through :) Too hungry to stop and take a photo right away! This was really good, smoky and sweet! 

2 sweet potatoes
EVOO
1 small onion, diced
1/2 can black beans, rinsed
1/2 can diced tomatoes
1 chipotle pepper, diced
1/2 tsp cumin
S&P

1. Pierce sweet potatoes and wrap in foil. Bake in a 400 degree oven until soft (about 45 minutes depending on size).
2. Once sweet potatoes are done, slice down the middle, scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/2 inch border. Roughly chop the sweet potato and set aside.
3. Heat EVOO over medium heat. Saute onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes, chipotle, sweet potato, cumin, S&P. Heat through.
4. Load filling into sweet potato. (I heated mine back up in the oven since I baked the sweet potatoes ahead of time and they weren't that warm anymore. If everything is hot, you could just serve it. Or, pop back in the oven to warm through.)

Enjoy!
