A sweet potato with black bean chili is one of Marc’s favorite meals.  It is hearty and keeps him filled up for, well, a little longer than usual. (He eats often!)  We bake about four sweet potatoes at a time and keep them in the refrigerator for quick, easy meals or snacks. To make a delicious lunch or dinner, we reheat them in the microwave. Then we pour black bean chili on top.  If you are feeling ambitious, you can make your own black bean chili, or try a pre-made variety.  We like Amy’s brand Low Fat Black Bean Chili (it is gluten free):

To finish off this dish we like to add sliced green onions, diced sweet onions, or cilantro.  Marc also like to add some hot sauce to the top to kick up the spice!
