Ingredients

  • 3 medium to large sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • Salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Use a fork to poke several holes in each sweet potato. Roast for 45 minutes – 1 hour, until fork tender.
  3. While sweet potatoes cook, prepare the veggie burgers according to package instructions.
  4. Heat avocado oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add bell pepper, green onion, cumin, and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Chop cooked veggie burgers into small bite size pieces, and add to the skillet, along with the corn.
  6. Remove from heat, and stir in enchilada sauce.
  7. Prepare the quick guacamole by mashing together avocado, garlic powder, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to taste until smooth.
  8. Slice cooked sweet potatoes in half. Top each half with about 1/3 cup of the filling. Serve with scoop of guacamole and extra cilantro if desired.
