Vegetarian Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Servings: 4 servings
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.
