Ingredients

1 sweet potato
½ avocado, mashed
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup frozen corn, thawed
¼ cup salsa
Salt and pepper

Method

Using a fork, pierce sweet potato multiple times. Place on a paper towel or microwave-safe plate and microwave 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, and then, with the flesh facing up, cut a slit lengthwise down the middle of each half. Use two forks to split open the halves to create pockets.
Into a small bowl, mash the avocado with cumin and cayenne. Fill each sweet potato with the avocado mixture, followed by black beans, corn, and salsa. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
