Move over, potato skins. These Sweet Potato Touchdowns are a snap to make, requiring only a few simple ingredients. I originally saw these on EatingWell (genius!) and was totally inspired to make them. The avocado adds heart-healthy unsaturated fat and fiber, and the sweet potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene, which is converted by the body to vitamin A to help boost immunity and promote a healthy complexion. Don’t forget to (clean and then) eat the skin—lots of feel-good action lurking inside.
- Prep time
- Total Time
- • 1 sweet potato, roasted
- • ¼ cup guacamole
- • 3 tablespoons salsa
- • 2 tablespoons light sour cream or non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Top each sweet potato half with 2 tablespoons guacamole, then 1½ tablespoons salsa. Place the sour cream or Greek yogurt in a plastic bag and cut a tiny hole in the corner. Use about 1 tablespoon per each sweet potato half to make the football-lace piping.
1 serving is ½ sweet potato
