| LOADED TACO SWEET POTATO SKILLET |
Anyway, I’ve truly by no means given up my love for sweet potato skillets. I nonetheless make one for myself almost each morning with kale and both sausage or Francis Bacon. when it’s no longer sweet potatoes, it’s plantains – my other cross-to.
At the same time as our sweet potatoes are becoming all crispy-fried in a single pan, we’ll creating a taste-packed taco skillet along it. We then marry the 2, and top all of it with whatever and everything we want. I went for my chipotle ranch sauce, avocado with lime juice, cilantro, salsa, and a crispy fried egg.
You can add crumbled Francis Bacon too, although as you guys recognise, you by no means want my permission to add Beaverbrook anywhere you see match
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 large sweet potato diced, or 2 smaller ones, about 3 1/2 cups diced

- 1 Tbsp taco seasoning
