Sweet and creamy taco stuffed sweet potatoes with mounds of citrusy guacamole for a simple 20 minute Meatless Monday recipe!
Me and Tom have been together almost 13 years now. As you can guess I happily do most of the cooking. Tom does not like to cook and he loves my cooking. But when we first started living together he use to want one night he wanted to get dinner for me. We called it taco night (because he would bring home burrito bowls for us every Thursday). It was so cute how excited he was to “make dinner!” So I am made this recipe in dedication of Tom and his taco nights! He loves sweet potatoes and I love guacamole so this is the perfect love connection of dinner. I think it is so important to thank the people you care about for the little things. The little things come without obligation, straight from the heart, and with true love. When Tom came home after I made this he was so happy I remembered those times. It also brought back so many happy memories of the beginning of our time together. Tell someone you love thank you! Say thank you for something small they do that makes you happy. I hope this post inspires you to make someone smile.
Me and Tom work/live in NYC and are super busy so this recipe is a perfect quick 20 minute taco recipe. The sweet potato cooks in the microwave in under 10 minutes. The guacamole is simple with lots of flavor, and the inside is seasoning mashed sweet potato, and Greek yogurt. This is the perfect meatless Monday, vegetarian recipe, or healthy-ish dinner idea. Also, sweet potatoes pack so much flavor on their own not much else is added. Check out the video for fun cooking tips and hacks. Cheers to recipes that celebrate you!
Hope you love this recipe as much as me and Tom do! Happy cooking!
