Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (I used Franks)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced avocado
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, for the juice

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and roast them on a baking sheet for about an hour. Longer if needed. Let cool.
  • Step 
    2
    While the sweet potatoes cook, render your bacon until crispy. Set aside to drain on paper towels. Crumble. Drain all but a tablespoon of the fat and add the carrots and celery. Sauté until they start to soften, 5 minutes.
  • Step 
    3
    Add the shredded chicken, green chiles and the buffalo sauce to the pan. Let cook on low for a few minutes.
  • Step 
    4
    Slice the sweet potatoes in half (lengthwise) and scoop out as much filling as you want. Leave a little in the bottom and sides.
  • Step 
    5
    Place the chicken mixture into each half and top with shredded cheese.
  • Step 
    6
    Broil until cheese melts and is bubbly.
