Healthy Mexican Sweet Potato Skins
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 can corn, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 2-4 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced or pureed
- 1 ounce light cream cheese
- 1/4 cup light sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt (+ more to taste)
- 1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 6 tablespoons shredded cheese (Pepperjack, Cheddar, Colby Jack… anything will work)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45-60 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes are baking, place corn in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with no butter or oil. Sprinkle with salt and other Mexican seasoning (as much as you want). Do not stir! Let corn roast for several minutes before stirring. Let it roast for a few more minutes before stirring again. Continue this for about 10 minutes, until corn is browned and roasted on the outside. Set aside in a small bowl with the black beans.
- Saute the onion in the butter over medium heat until soft and translucent. Set aside.
- Remove sweet potatoes from the oven when fork-tender. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut the sweet potatoes in half. Scrape the flesh of the sweet potatoes out, leaving the skins intact. Sometimes leaving a thin layer of potato inside of the skins helps them hold together better.
- Mix the flesh of the sweet potatoes with the cream cheese, sour cream, chipotle peppers, and salt. You can use a mixer or just a spoon, depending on how soft the potatoes are. When well-mixed, gently stir in the black beans, roasted corn, sauteed onions, and cilantro.
- Scoop the filling into the skins and top each with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Broil for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Sesame Baked Tofu
This is a really easy and healthy way to prepare tofu and is great for people who may not like the taste and texture of tofu. When the tofu is baked, it becomes slightly chewier. The soy based marinade adds a lot of flavor to the tofu and the sesame seeds create a delicious crunchy coating.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 block extra firm sprouted tofu
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp ponzu (I like to use Marukan brand but if you are using a brand like Kikkoman that contains soy sauce, then you should decrease the amount of soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, mashed into a paste
- 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp korean hot pepper flakes (optional)
- roasted white sesame seeds
Method:
Press the tofu for 20 minutes by wrapping in a few layers of paper towel or a clean kitchen cloth and placing on a plate with another plate and a weight on top. After 20 minutes, a lot of water should have been pressed out. Cut the tofu in half and then each half into 10 slices. Combine the soy sauce, ponzu, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Place the tofu in a single layer in a dish and pour the marinade over your tofu slices. Preheat the oven to 375º. Let the tofu marinate for 20 minutes and turn the tofu slices over after 10 minutes. After the tofu has marinated, place some sesame seeds in a dish. Take each slice of marinated tofu and coat in the sesame seeds and place in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet. Place the tofu into the oven for 25-30 minutes until the tofu is browned. Serve with a simple salad.
