Detailed Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 cup cooked black beans (or canned, drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup vegan sour cream (optional)
  • 1/4 cup vegan shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salsa or hot sauce (for serving, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them with a fork a few times. Rub them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake them on a baking sheet for 40-45 minutes, or until tender.
  2. Prepare the Stuffing: While the potatoes are baking, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the black beans, corn, red bell pepper, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally for 5-7 minutes, until heated through and the flavors are well combined.
  3. Stuff the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, cut them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Stuff each potato with the black bean and corn mixture.
  4. Add Toppings: Top the stuffed potatoes with sliced avocado, vegan sour cream, vegan cheese, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
  5. Serve: Serve the vegan stuffed potato bowls warm, and enjoy a healthy, satisfying meal.
