Method
- Drizzle olive oil on sweet potatoes and rub oil all over to ensure each sweet potato has a light coating. Poke sweet potato with a fork and add to a microwave-safe dish.

- Cut a slit down the middle of each sweet potato and gently mash the inside of the potato with a fork to create room for the black bean mixture. Stuff an equal amount of the mixture into each sweet potato.
- Make the avocado crema by adding vegan sour cream, Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Beverage, garlic, avocados, cilantro, salt, and red pepper flakes to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Drizzle crema on top of sweet potatoes and garnish with additional cilantro. Enjoy!
