Loaded Turkey Sweet Potato Taco

Ingredients:

4 medium sized sweet potatoes

1 lb extra-lean ground turkey

1/2 cup fat free sour cream

1 tsp taco seasoning

1 tsp olive or canola oil

1/2 green pepper, diced

1/2 red onion, diced

1/2 avocado, diced

1 can reduced sodium black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can no salt added corn, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup salsa

1/2 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese blend

1/4 cup chopped scallions 

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 sour cream and taco seasoning in a small bowl, mix well.

Scoop out the center of each potato and add cheese.

In a pan, cook the ground turkey with the green pepper and onion over medium heat. Then, add black beans and rice to warm.

Once the turkey is cooked all the way through, spoon the mixture into your potato with cheese. 

Add diced avocado, salsa and chopped scallions to the top.

Add the sour cream mix to top it off, serve and ENJOY :)
