Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes make for a quick weeknight meal. These stuffed sweet potatoes are filled with tender enchilada chicken, black beans, sweet corn and topped with things like red onion, jalapeno peppers, and guacamole.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium Sweet Potatoes, washed and cooked
  • 1.5-2 lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Himalayan Pink Salt, to taste
  • 1 16 oz jar 505 Southwestern® Red Chile Enchilada Sauce (Medium)
  • 1 can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 10 oz bag Frozen Sweet Corn, cooked
  • 1 16 oz jar 505 Southwestern® Green Chile Salsa (Medium), optional
  • 1 8 oz container Guacamole, store bought or homemade
  • Red Onion, diced
  • 1 Roma Tomato, diced
  • 1-2 Fresh Jalapeño Peppers, thinly sliced
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Lime Wedges

Instructions

  1. Add meat to slow cooker: Place the chicken in the slow cooker. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Top with garlic and enchilada sauce.
  2. Cooking directions: Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, (or low for 6-8 hours), or until the chicken shreds easily with a fork. *Check for doneness around 3½ hours.*
  3. Mix: Shred the chicken in the slow cooker and toss with the remaining sauce until well combined.
  4. Cook the potatoes: Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Wrap with paper towels and cook on high for 8 minutes.
  5. Prep the veggies: While the potatoes cook, prep the rest of the vegetables.
  6. Stir: Next, cook the corn according to package directions. Add to a bowl with the beans, lightly salt and stir to combine.
  7. Assemble the potatoes: Slice each cooked potato in half, deep enough to stuff them. Top 4 sweet potatoes with chicken and the corn/black bean mixture. Add some onion, tomato, jalapeño slices, and cilantro.
  8. How to serve: Serve with a lime wedge, guacamole and some salsa if desired.
  9. Storage: Refrigerate the leftover chicken in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (This chicken also freezes well).

Notes

  • Sweet Potatoes: If they are small, start the cook time at around 5-6 minutes, and then go from there. 
  • Corn: Depending on the season, you can use fresh or frozen corn. If you use fresh, just use 2 fresh sweet corn on the cob.
