• 1 tsp chili powder (optional, for a bit of heat)

• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 avocado, sliced

• Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes:
   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and poke a few holes in them with a fork.
   • Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place them on a baking sheet.
   • Roast for 45-50 minutes until the skin is crispy and the inside is tender. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
2. Season the Beans:
   • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a small pan over medium heat.
   • Add the black beans, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the beans are warmed and the spices are fragrant.
3. Assemble:
   • Once the sweet potatoes are ready, carefully slice them open down the middle.
   • Fluff up the inside with a fork and stuff with the seasoned black beans.
   • Top with diced red onion, avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
   • If desired, add a dollop of vegan sour cream and some salsa for extra flavor.
