Sassy Sweet Potatoes - Fast and Fresh!

I love sweet potatoes any day of the year! However, I started to get tired of the typical butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and marshmallow toppings that seem to go with them. One of my favorite dishes with sweet potato is/was at Claim Jumper, it paired the sweet potato with Jerk chicken, and jicama/mango salsa! With much taste testing and inspiration I came up with this sassy sweet potato - Don't knock it till you try it!

The Sassy Sweet Potato  

This dish has the creamy, sweet, goodness the sweet potato brings, mixed with a little butter to add more velvet texture, then your hit with Avocado chunks adding more richness and flavor. Then you get the cool crisp cilantro and a squeeze of lime to add that fresh citrus balance.

Ingredients/Directions:

1. 1 medium sweet potato - Bake or microwave, remove the skin and mash

2. 1 Tbsp of butter (optional) - Mash into the potato

3. 1 small/medium Avocado - Sliced and cubed, place on top of the mashed sweet potato

4. 1 Tbsp of chopped cilantro - place on top of the Avocado.

5. 1 juicy lime - squeeze entire lime over all the dish

6. Salt  - to taste

Done!

How do I eat it - I mix it all together, but you can leave it the way you like or make it into a burrito etc.

Other Ideas: Top off the dish with chicken breast cooked with jerk seasoning, add some sliced mango - or roll it all up into a flour tortilla for a burrito!
