Mexican-inspired Baked Sweet Potatoes
Description
Sweet, smoky, tangy, and slightly spicy all at once. The sweet potato acts as a creamy, caramelized base for bold Mexican flavours like paprika, chilli, lime, and fresh herbs.
The potato is soft and tender on the inside with a slightly crisp skin, topped with creamy beans or avocado, crunchy vegetables.
It is inviting and earthy, with hints of roasted sweet potato, warm spices like paprika, and fresh citrus from lime juice.
