Anything Mexico, is Always a Good Idea.

If you want to take your texmex and taco game to a whole new level, you better stuff those sweet potatoes with Mexican texmex filling y’all! The sweetness from the sweet potato suits so well together with the spiciness from the Mexican food, and you can basically fill your sweet potato with whatever ingredient you like - just as you do with your taco.

THE INGREDIENTS:

The ingredients are actually rather simple, and as I mentioned in the beginning of the post you can actually fill the sweet potato with your favorite taco toppings. However, this recipe is completely vegan and that is what I recommend you all to pick too. Let the vegetables, beans, herbs and spices give the dish flavor and don’t add meat. Let this dish be colorful, fresh, natural and just delicious in this way. You get the main proteins from the kidney beans and the satisfaction from… well, everything in general.

You will need: sweet potato, tomato, bell pepper of optional color, sweet corn, red onion, kidney beans, avocado, parsley or cilantro, lime juice, vegan Turkish yoghurt (can be excluded), optional taco sauce, salt and black pepper.

THIS RECIPE IS:

• Vegan

• Colorful

• Simple to make

• A new, fun way to eat Mexican Food

• A nice balance of sweet and spicy

• Suitable for both kids and adults
