Ingredients

  • 1 Taco seasoning packet
  • 1 large Tomato
  • 1 4 oz can Sliced black olives
  • ½ cup Mexican blend cheese
  • ½ cup Guacamole

Method
 

  1. Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork.
  2. Preheat an air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes.
  3. Air fry the sweet potatoes for a total of 40-45 minutes, flipping after halfway, until they can easily be pierced with a fork. Times can vary based on the sweet potato sizes or your air fryer.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the turkey taco meat on the stovetop according to the instructions on the back of the seasoning packet.
Assemble
  1. Make a cut across the top of each sweet potato. With a fork, fluff up the inside of the sweet potatoes.
  2. Top each sweet potato with a scoop of taco meat.
  3. Sprinkle with cheese. Cook in the air fryer for 1 minute to melt the cheese, if desired.
  4. Garnish with your favorite taco toppings such as diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!

Notes

  • We used an air fryer to cook the sweet potatoes, you can also bake the sweet potatoes or cook them in an Instant Pot.
  • The cooking time on the sweet potato varies based on the size of the sweet potato you purchased. Just cook them a little longer if they aren't easy to pierce with a fork.
  • Baked sweet potatoes also make a terrific base for fajitas, sloppy joes, BBQ, or Philly cheesesteaks too!
