    Ingredients

    • 2 sweet potatoes
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 small red onions, finely diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 small red chile pepper, minced (or jalapeno)
    • 1 ear corn, kernels removed
    • 1 tablespoons ground cumin
    • 1 tablespoons chili powder
    • 2 cups baby spinach
    • 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1/2 cup Yoplait plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 pinch coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 1 scallion, finely sliced

    Directions

    1. 1Preheat oven to 350. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about an hour and 20 minutes, or until potato is cooked through and can be pierced with a fork (check at the 60 minute mark).
    2. 2Set aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
    3. 3Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add the onions and sauté 3 minutes. Add the chile and garlic; sauté another minute. Add the corn and sauté another 2 or 3 minutes. Add the seasonings and sauté 1 minute. Add the baby spinach and sauté to wilt, 2 minutes. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
    4. 4Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, and scoop out the innards with a spoon. Place the innards in a large bowl. Add the corn mixture to the bowl, as well as the beans and yogurt. Give a good stir to combine until smooth.
    5. 5Evenly spoon the filling back into the sweet potato boats and top with shredded cheese.
    6. 6Switch the oven to broil, slide the potatoes back in until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
    7. 7Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately!
