- Add garlic, ground cumin, coriander, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add black beans, corn, hot sauce, salsa and lime juice. Cook on low for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavours to meld. Mash some of the beans for a thicker consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- To assemble, cut each baked sweet potato in half and fluff the insides with a fork creating a bed for the filling.
- Stuff each sweet potato half with the black bean mix.
- Garnish with your favourite toppings and serve with the BBQ Mayo.
