How to cook deliciously - Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap each one in foil. Place them on a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet, and bake them for 55 to 60 minutes or until fork-tender. Let the potatoes cool for 10 minutes. Editor's Tip: It's good practice to prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork before baking them in the oven. You don't want a potato explosion. You also don't necessarily need foil to bake sweet potatoes, but it helps.
2. Stage
While the potatoes are baking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and onion, and cook for seven to eight minutes until the turkey browns. Stir in the black beans, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 3 or 4 tablespoons water, and bring the mixture to a simmer for a minute or two until it thickens.
3. Stage
When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a slit in the top of each potato and spread it open to make a pocket. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt into the sweet potato pockets. Stuff the sweet potatoes with the turkey black bean mixture, then sprinkle them with shredded cheese. Bake for another two to three minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve topped with guacamole, salsa and cilantro.
