Vegetarian Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Flavorful vegetarian chorizo stuffed sweet potatoes: the perfect easy weeknight dinner!  Make this vegan by using dairy-free cheese and sour cream.

We have one Trader Joe’s in Nashville.  It’s in an area of town that I don’t go to frequently, so whenever I’m there I stock up on my favorite ingredients.  One of these is the soy chorizo.  I buy 5 at a time and use it in breakfast hash, tacos, and these stuffed sweet potatoes.  My husband, a meat eater, even loves this vegetarian alternative.  Vegetarian Chorizo Stuffed Sweet PotatoesThe chorizo is richly spiced, so you don’t need any additional flavoring for a tasty and easy meal!  Many other stores now offer soy chorizo, generally in the area near the tofu and other natural foods.  You could also substitute regular chorizo if you eat meat.

How to Make Vegetarian Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Cook the sweet potatoes using an Instant Pot, microwave, or oven.  While the sweet potatoes are cooking, dice the green pepper and onion.  Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add the oil then the onion.  Saute for about 4 minutes then add the bell pepper and cook for another 4 minutes.  Add in the vegetarian chorizo (or substitute regular chorizo if desired) and cook following package directions.  For the Trader Joe’s soy chorizo you just need to heat it through.  Cut the sweet potatoes across the top, stuff with the chorizo mixture and top with cheese and sour cream.

Vegetarian Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time45 minutes mins
Total Time1 hour hr
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 servings
Author: Danielle Howard

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 12 oz vegetarian chorizo (I use Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo)
  • Cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the sweet potatoes using an Instant Pot, microwave, or oven. See Instant Pot directions here. To bake in the oven preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and pierce the potatoes several times with a fork. Bake for 45-60 minutes until they’re tender when pierced with a fork. To microwave, pierce the skin several times with a fork, place on a microwaveable plate and microwave for 6-10 minutes, rotating halfway through.
  • While the sweet potatoes are cooking, dice the green pepper and onion.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, then the onion. Saute for about 4 minutes, then add the bell pepper and cook for another 4 minutes.
  • Add in the vegetarian chorizo (or substitute regular chorizo if desired) and cook following package directions. For the Trader Joe’s soy chorizo I just heat it through, mixing in with the onions and bell pepper.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes across the top, stuff with the chorizo mixture and top with cheese and sour cream.

    I love potatoes any way you serve them… but this is one of my favorites!!
    I’m not vegetarian so I would probably make this another way.. but this is healthier for sure.

    My husband would love this. I haven’t had vegetarian chorizo yet, but it sounds delicious. I want to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our diets this new year, so this is a great way to start!
