Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 med orange sweet potatoes (a.k.a. yams)
• 1 med onion (medium dice)
• 3-4 large garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 15 oz kidney beans 
• 6 oz tomato paste
• 1/2 can of beer (preferably stout)
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 Tbsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Toppings: Remaining diced onions, Green onions, vegan sour cream, avocado, cilantro, Violife Vegan Feta

Instructions:

1. Pierce sweet potatoes all over with a knife. Wrap sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and place in a campfire pit for 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Alternatively, bake in a 400°F oven for 60 minutes, or until soft.
2. While that’s going, throw 3/4 of the onions in a pot with olive oil. Stir in garlic and wait until they both begin to soften. Add beans, beer (or broth if desired), tomato paste, and spices; mix well. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes. 
3. When sweet potatoes are cooked through, remove from the fire and open the foil. Slice down the middle. Fill with chili and any other desired toppings.
