Loaded Baked Sweet Potato “Healthified”

Servings: 4 • Size: 1 potato • Old Points: 6 pts • Points+: 8 pt
Calories: 307 • Fat: 5 g • Carb: 53 g • Fiber: 10.5 g • Protein: 15 g • Sugar: 1 g
Sodium: 312 mg (without salt)
Ingredients:
• 4 medium sized sweet potatoes
• 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt (or light sour cream)
• 1 tsp taco seasoning
• 1 tsp olive or canola oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• a pinch of salt
• 1-1/3 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup mild or spicy salsa
• 1/2 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese blend
• 1/4 cup chopped scallions or cilantro
Directions:
Poke holes in the potato with a fork, cook on your microwave’s potato setting until potatoes are soft and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes on high for 4 potatoes). If you don't have a microwave, bake about 45 minutes at 400°F.
Combine yogurt and taco seasoning in a small bowl, mix well.
Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add peppers, onions, chili powder, paprika, cumin and salt; cook until the onions have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes. Add black beans, stir to combine and heat through (about another 5 minutes).
Slice the potato lengthwise down the middle or as I did in the photo, use a fork to pierce the top in an oval shape, then remove the top of each potato. Top with 2 tbsp shredded cheese, 1/3 cup of black bean mixture, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt mixture and 2 tbsp salsa of salsa. Enjoy!0 -
The caloric value of sweet potatoes is very confusing. Like it'll say a large sweet potato is 180 grams and 5" in diameter and 160 calories, but has anyone actually found a sweet potato UNDER 180 grams? How is that a large? Do they mean the weight once it's cooked or?0

I put them in the microwave a few minutes before cutting to soften them a bit. I have also found the smaller ones are not as hard0 -
You can do with a sweet potato pretty much anything you can do with any other potato. My favorites are:
Roasted: coat with olive oil, salt, cayenne and rosemary, bake at 350 deg on a foil lined pan.
Hashbrowns: grate the potato and saute' with onions, peppers, bacon. Then pour scrambled eggs on top and cook till eggs are done.0 -
We have sweet potatoes every Monday for dinner. We bake two medium sweet potatoes (one for each of us), throw on 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, and put four ounces of baked chicken on top. It's super filling and healthy!0
