Loaded Sweet Potato

This is a fool-proof and college-student-friendly meal that's completely vegan, oil-free, and affordable! Potatoes and beans are some of the cheapest things you can buy!

Stuff you'll need:​

• a sweet potato
• a can of black beans
• frozen corn (optional)
• about 1/4 to 1/2 of a white onion
• about a handful or two of baby spinach
• avocado
• hot sauce
• really anything else you can think of

Putting it all together:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. *Scrub the potato really well before cooking--especially if it's not organic* Poke a few holes in the sweet potato and put it on a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes until it's soft.
• Chop up the onion and sauté it in a pan over medium heat. I don't like to cook with oil, so I put a little bit of water in the pan to keep it moving. Once the onion is translucent, stir in the beans. Once the beans have heated up a bit, I like to add in some frozen corn. It's really up to you how you like your beans cooked, but I like to stir them and cook them down quite a bit so they're a lot thicker. I'll also stir in a little bit of salt.
• Assemble it all together. Cut the potato down the middle and stuff it with the beans, spinach (or leafy green of your choice), avocado, Sriracha (I put it on everything), salsa...anything you can think of!
