Recipe 1

TEX-MEX BISON STUFFED SWEET POTATO RECIPE

Prep 5min
Cook 45min
Total 50min

Ingredients for 4 servings

  • 4 medium (~1200g) sweet potatoes
  • Pepper Salsa
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 cup diced colorful bell peppers (use at least 2 colors; I used finely diced green, yellow, red and orange pepper)
    • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    • 1/2 can (7oz) no-salt added black beans, drained
    • 1/3 cup frozen corn, thawed
    • sea salt & pepper to taste
  • spray olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1lb 95% lean ground bison (or your choice of lean protein)
  • 1 1/2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • Garnish
    • cilantro
    • jalapeño
    • fresh avocado (be sure to incorporate into macronutrients when calculating calories)
    • lime

Steps

Step 1

Set oven to 420F.

Step 2

Pierce a few holes in the sweet potatoes using a fork or knife, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them in the oven for about 45 minutes , or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. For best results, wrap them in nonstick foil.

Step 3

Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil, bell peppers and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes, then add in black beans. Toss everything together before finally adding corn, then season to taste with sea salt & pepper. Set side.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add onion and cook until brown and translucent. Add the ground meat and chop it up finely as it cooks. When there are nearly no more visible pink pieces, pour in the enchilada sauce and bring to a light simmer, then reduce the heat. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper and allow it to simmer for a few more minutes on low heat. Note: it’s important that the meat is saucy since foods like potato can easily dry out when reheated.

Step 5

Bring everything together! Add a fourth – or your desired portion – of the bison to the sweet potato. Garnish and enjoy! Note: ONLY add the fresh avocado when you’re going to actually eat the meal.

Step 6

And remember to switch it up for variety! Ditch the sweet potato and use quinoa, brown rice or cauliflower rice – not only with the macronutrients change, but also the change can “trick your tastebuds” into eating something slightly different!

My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle.

By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget.
