Elevate Your Dinner: Easy Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Black Beans and Avocado

viral stuffed sweet potatoes

If you’ve seen the viral stuffed sweet potato all over your feed, consider this your sign to finally make one. A perfectly cooked sweet potato is already a great starting point for dinner, but once you split it open, crisp up the edges, and pile on flavorful toppings, it becomes something entirely different.

These black bean stuffed sweet potatoes take that idea and turn it into an easy, satisfying meal with Plant Strong Black Bean Burger Mix, avocado, and homemade pico de gallo. The combination hits just about every note: sweet and caramelized sweet potato, savory black bean patties, creamy avocado, and bright, fresh pico de gallo.

Plant Strong Black Bean Burger Mix brings more than flavor to these stuffed sweet potatoes. Made with real ingredients including black beans and whole grains, it adds protein and fiber to the meal while making it easy to build a satisfying dinner around ingredients you recognize. And despite the name, Burger Mix can do a lot more than burgers. Form it into smaller patties like we did here, crumble it into bowls or tacos, or use it anywhere you want an easy, hearty addition to a meal.

The best part about a stuffed sweet potato recipe is how easy it is to make your own. This version keeps the toppings simple with avocado and pico de gallo, but you can add shredded lettuce, corn, beans, cilantro, jalapeño, or another favorite topping depending on what you have on hand. The original combination is so flavorful that it doesn’t even need a sauce.

Whether you’re looking for an easy weeknight dinner, a new way to use Black Bean Burger Mix, or simply wondering whether the viral sweet potato trend is worth trying, this recipe makes a pretty convincing case. It’s colorful, customizable, packed with texture, and easy enough to put together without turning dinner into a project.
