You can stuff sweet potatoes with pretty much anything. We took these into Tex-Mex territory with a combo of ground turkey, onion, carrots, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Roast and assemble the sweet potato boats ahead, and just top with sour cream and hot sauce when ready to eat. This Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes recipe is incredibly delicious, very satisfying, healthy, family-friendly, and an easy Mexican dish!
