Baked Sweet Potato with Black Bean Salsa

Baked Sweet Potato with Black Bean Salsa is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a great way to enjoy the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes while also getting a healthy dose of protein from the black beans.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the sweet potato and pierce it several times with a fork. Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potato is baking, prepare the black bean salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Once the sweet potato is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise and use a fork to fluff up the flesh. Spoon the black bean salsa over the sweet potato halves and serve immediately.
This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with the natural sweetness of the sweet potato complementing the tangy and spicy flavors of the black bean salsa. It is also a great source of fiber, protein, and vitamins.
