Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato*, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup frozen white corn
- 1.5 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
- 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet with a little room in between each one and bake for 12-15 minutes, until they start to brown around the edges. You might need to work with two baking sheets.
- Transfer the potatoes to a 12'' cast iron skillet and layer with frozen corn and shredded cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and top with sliced jalapeño, avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Longer and skinnier sweet potatoes are best for this recipe. If you can't find a large one, 2 smaller ones will work.
