Stuffed Sweet Potatoes: Healthy Chicken Taco Style

Take taco night to a new and healthier level! Fill these healthy stuffed sweet potatoes with shredded chicken and your favorite taco toppings for a quick and easy dinner!

Some of our favorite toppings include: Black beans, cilantro cauliflower rice, organic fresh produce like cilantro, radishes, jalapenos, guacamole, or avocado slices, salsa fresca, roasted poblano peppers, freshly squeezed lime juice, shredded romaine lettuce, grilled (or roasted) veggies, fresh diced tomatoes, and the list goes on and on.

Stuffed sweet potatoes are basically a complete meal. You can go all-in and pile the toppings to the moon if that’s your thing! If you want to get really crazy, try putting a dollop of our Cashew Avocado Spread on top. Amazing flavor!

To cut through the heat from any of those tasty toppings (namely peppers), we highly recommended pairing with a cool beverage: To a glass, add a couple of ice cubes, a little sparkling mineral water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a dash of pomegranate juice (make sure it’s pure, 100% pomegranate juice). So good! So refreshing!
