    Source of Recipe

    Brenda-Lee Olson

    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.
