Shake up your taco night with these mouthwatering Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. This easy weeknight dinner is incredibly easy to make, family friendly and perfect for meal prepping.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 12 ounces ground pork
- ⅓ cup onions small diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons butter optional
- as needed toppings suggestions above
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce them all over with a fork then lightly coat them in oil. Place on the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until done.
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, pour a drizzle of olive oil, then add the ground pork and diced onions. Cook, breaking up the meat, until it is browned, and the onions are soft. Stir in the minced garlic, all the seasonings, and a tablespoon of water. Combine thoroughly. Allow to cook for one minute, then take off the heat.
- Cut the potatoes open, fluff up the interior and add the butter. Then, spoon the taco filling inside and garnish with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
