Baked Sweet Potatoes with Warm Black Bean Salad


My first reader-submitted recipe!  Thanks, Tamara, for the link to this wonderful dish.  I had another extremely long day at work, but thankfully this recipe is super quick and easy...and Mr. Kitchin made it!  To vegan-ize, sub soy sour cream and soy cheese.  These potatoes would probably be good with some grilled chicken on top for you meat eaters.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
  • 4 Medium Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 15 Oz. Can Black Beans, Rinsed and Drained
  • 2 Medium Tomatoes, Diced
  • 1 Tbsp. Light Olive Oil
  • 1 Tsp. Cumin
  • 1 Tsp. Coriander
  • 3/4 Tsp. Salt
  • 8 Tbsp. Fat-Free Sour Cream (Two Per Potato)
  • Pinch of Low-Fat Shredded Cheese

Directions:
  • Prick holes in potatoes and microwave on high for 15 minutes or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil, beans, tomatoes, cumin, coriander, and salt in medium pan over medium heat.
  • Cook black bean salad until thoroughly heated.
  • When potatoes are done, allow to cool and then cut a slit down the middle.
  • Squish ends in to create opening in middle of potato.
  • Fill opening with 1/2 cup of black bean salad.
  • Sprinkle cheese over top and a dollop (2 Tbsp.) of sour cream.
