Got leftover taco meat? Stuff it in some sweet potatoes and grill topped with a little cheese and dinner is done!
Leftover Tacos Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
We always seem to have taco mixture left over after taco night and we always have sweet potatoes in the pantry, so this has become a really easy leftover’s recipe. This would also be great to take to the office for lunch.

Ingredients
- drizzle of olive oil

Instructions
Pre heat oven to 180°C.

Bake for 45 – 60 minutes or until soft in the centre. (test with a skewer)
Once cooked, cut a slit down the centre of each potato and gently pull open. Fill with taco filling (I pre heated mine beforehand), top with grated cheese and put under a high grill for 5 – 10 minutes, until cheese has melted.
Top with grated zucchini, sour cream and spring onions.
Notes
If you like you can scoop out some of the potato, mix into taco mixture then fill each potato.
