Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes
1 pkg. Noble Bean Smoked Onion tempeh
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 yellow onion, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
1 tomato, diced
1 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 pkg. Fauxmagerie Zengarry Smokey Jalapeno cashew cheese
Zengarry Queso sauce (link to recipe below)
Avocado, diced
Instructions:
1. Poke your sweet potatoes with a fork a few times then pop them in the oven for about 45 minutes at 400 degrees F. They are ready when they are soft all the way through when poked with a fork. Allow them to cool about 10 minutes.
2. Make your tempeh and black bean stuffing. Sauté onion and bell pepper in a pan over medium heat. Use a bit of olive oil or water to prevent sticking. Once the onion is soft and translucent add the black beans, tomato and spices. Sauté for 5 minutes more stirring to prevent sticking.
3. Slice your sweet potatoes lengthwise with a sharp knife without cutting all the way through. Spread the two halves and stuff with tempeh black bean mixture.
4. Top with Zengarry Queso Sauce and chopped avocado. Garnish with a bit of chopped cilantro and lime if you have it! Mmmmmmm. Olé
