Vegetarian Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
on May 09, 2017, Updated Apr 02, 2024
Ever since having my son, I’ve realized that pregnancy and becoming a mother has changed my tastebuds.
One thing that I can’t get enough of lately is sweet potatoes!
These vegetarian mexican stuffed sweet potatoes, to be specific.
Ever since making this recipe I’ve had to have it at least once a week!
I’m really diggin’ the flavor of sweet potato in savory dishes.
They are creamy, filling, and add a great salty sweet contrast to dinner. I just can’t get enough!
Crosby loves sweet potatoes too (he must get that from his mama.)
When roasting these up for dinner I’ll save him some to puree with a little coconut oil and water. So easy!
