Total Time: 47 minutes
Servings:  2

Ingredients

• 2 extra-large sweet potatoes, washed and patted dry
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil or olive oil (divided)
• 4 tablespoons adobo sauce (divided)
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (divided)
• 1 pound ground chicken or ground turkey
• 1/3 cup shredded cheese (divided)

Recipe Notes

• Parmesan, mozzarella, cheddar, Colby Jack or your favorite blend are good choices for this recipe.

• Rachel used about 1/4 teaspoon each of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Here's how to make it:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a fork, poke a few holes into the sweet potatoes and place them on baking sheet. Roast for about 35 minutes or until tender. 
2. While the potatoes bake, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground chicken or turkey for about 4 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce, pepper flakes and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir well to combine. Set aside. 
3. When potatoes are done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool a little. Slice each potato lengthwise and spoon the flesh into a bowl.
4. To the bowl, add half the cheese, oregano, the remaining adobo sauce and a tiny pinch of sea salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Spoon the potato mixture back inside the potato skins.
5. Top equally with the adobo chicken and remaining shredded cheese. Return to the oven for about 3 to 4 minutes or just until cheese has melted. Enjoy while hot!
