Recipe Introduction

from Living Well Magazine

List of Ingredients

* 4 medium sweet potatoes
* 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
* 2 medium tomatoes, diced
* 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon ground coriander
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup soy (or other non-dairy) sour cream
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro



Recipe

1. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places. Microwave on High until tender all the way to the center, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place in a baking dish and bake at 425 degrees F until tender all the way to the center, about 1 hour.)

2. Meanwhile, in a medium microwaveable bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, oil, cumin, coriander and salt; microwave on High until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan over medium heat.)

3. When just cool enough to handle, slash each sweet potato
lengthwise, press open to make a well in the center and spoon the bean mixture into the well. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.
