Instructions

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat. Clean the sweet potatoes thoroughly and puncture them a few times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack or a baking tray and bake for 45 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, combine honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper by whisking them together. Add the shredded chicken to the bowl, mixing until well-coated. Heat the mixture in a pan over medium heat until it is warmed through and aromatic.
Rinse the black beans and drain them. Also, drain the corn. Cut the avocado into cubes and chop the cilantro. If using ranch or crema, have it ready for drizzling.
When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to touch, cut them open lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork to create room for the filling. Evenly distribute the black beans and corn among the sweet potatoes. Spoon the honey lime chicken mixture on top.
Finish each potato with diced avocado, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a generous drizzle of ranch or crema. Serve warm and savor the flavors!

Notes

For a creamier texture, mix black beans and corn with ranch or crema before adding to sweet potatoes.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey lime chicken mixture for a spicy kick.
Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking and shredding it yourself.
