TACO STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Ingredients

·         1 pound lean ground beef

·         1 medium onion chopped

·         2 cloves garlic minced

·         1 packet taco seasoning

·         1 cup chunky salsa

·         1/4-1/2 cup water

·         4 medium sweet potatoes about 12-14 ounces each

Toppings (optional):

·         shredded Mexican blend cheese

·         diced tomato

·         diced avocado or guacamole

·         sour cream

Instructions

1.            Brown ground beef, chopped onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium high       

          heat. Drain grease and add the taco seasoning and salsa. 

2.            Reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 5 more minutes until mixture has 

         thickened and is heated through. Add up to 1/2 cup of water to achieve desired  

         consistency.

3.            While the meat is cooking, poke holes all over the sweet potatoes and cook in the 

         microwave for 8-10 minutes on high, turning sweet potatoes over once halfway 

         through. If potatoes aren't soft enough, continue cooking 1-3 minutes more. I usually 

         cook two potatoes at one time, but if your microwave allows, you could cook all four at 

         once. Allow sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then slice them lengthwise and fluff the 

         insides with a fork.

4.            Spoon the cooked taco meat over the sweet potatoes and add desired toppings such 

         as shredded cheese, diced tomato, avocado, guacamole, or sour cream. Enjoy!
