Recipe of the Week: Black Bean-Smothered Sweet Potatoes

Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
• OR 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

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 425F until tender all the way to the center, about 1 hour.)
2. Meanwhile, combine beans, tomato, oil, cumin, coriander and salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl; 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.
