Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Sweet potatoes
  • 1 lb Ground turkey
  • 1 Taco seasoning packet
  • 1 large Tomato
  • 1 4 oz can Sliced black olives
  • ½ cup Mexican blend cheese
  • ½ cup Guacamole
  • Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes.
  • Air fry the sweet potatoes for a total of 40-45 minutes, flipping after halfway, until they can easily be pierced with a fork. Times can vary based on the sweet potato sizes or your air fryer.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the turkey taco meat on the stovetop according to the instructions on the back of the seasoning packet.

Assemble

  • Make a cut across the top of each sweet potato. With a fork, fluff up the inside of the sweet potatoes.
  • Top each sweet potato with a scoop of taco meat.
  • Sprinkle with cheese. Cook in the air fryer for 1 minute to melt the cheese, if desired.
  • Garnish with your favorite taco toppings such as diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!

Notes

  • We used an air fryer to cook the sweet potatoes, you can also bake the sweet potatoes or cook them in an Instant Pot.
  • The cooking time on the sweet potato varies based on the size of the sweet potato you purchased. Just cook them a little longer if they aren't easy to pierce with a fork.
  • Baked sweet potatoes also make a terrific base for fajitas, sloppy joes, BBQ, or Philly cheesesteaks too!
