Instructions

For Stuffed Potatoes:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. On a tin foil-lined baking sheet, place sweet potatoes, coated with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake for about an hour. Skin should be soft enough to cut when done. Let potatoes cool so you can handle them.
  2. In a nonstick skillet, cook or warm black bean burgers. Using a spatula, break into pieces. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  3. Dress sweet potato with salsa, chopped tomatoes, black bean burger, avocado and shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
  4. Enjoy with cabbage slaw.

For Cabbage Slaw:

  1. In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients. Mix until uniform consistency forms. Set aside.
  2. In a larger bowl, combine all slaw ingredients.
  3. Dress salad with the dressing and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Serve alongside stuffed sweet potatoes.
