Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes – an easy dinner idea you’re going to love! It seems I have a thing for “stuffing” food items… Stuffed zucchini, stuffed peppers, stuffed chicken – apparently if you can stuff it then I’m all over it!😂 (Try my stuffed butternut squash or enchilada stuffed zucchini boats next!) So I knew these taco-inspired stuffed spuds were going to be a hit. And holy moly what a hit they are!
These stuffed potatoes are perfect for sweet/savory lovers! The sweet potatoes almost caramelize in the oven which brings out their natural sweetness pairing perfectly with your robustly flavored taco meat. They’re meaty, cheesy, so simple to make and you can load them up with as many toppings as you want! Plus a great low carb option for taco night too. (Sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamins and fiber making them a perfect source for extra nutrition!)
Ingredients You’ll Need
Sweet potatoes: Use potatoes that are similar in sizefor the best results. (This helps them cook more evenly – we personally prefer the smaller fatter ones.😉)
Ground beef: Any type of ground beefworks! (We use 90/10 ground beef for ours.)
Onion: White or red onion can be used for this recipe.
Garlic: You’ll need at least 2 minced garlic cloves!
Canned diced tomatoes: Use fire roasted tomatoes if possible! They add a subtle smoky flavor to the beef that’s so good! (If you’re not a fan of larger tomato chunks, you can always use petite diced tomatoes or blend the tomatoes in a food processor.)
