Ingredients

  1. 4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  2. 1 cup water (for the Instant Pot)
  3. 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  4. 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  5. 1 avocado, diced or sliced
  6. ½ cup salsa or pico de gallo
  7. ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  8. 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  9. 1 lime, cut into wedges
  10. Optional toppings: vegan sour cream, sliced jalapeños, hot sauce, shredded vegan cheese, nutritional yeast

Instructions

Place the trivet inside the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water to the bottom.

  1. Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place them on the trivet.
  2. Seal the lid and set to Manual/Pressure Cook on high for 15–20 minutes, depending on potato size.
  3. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  4. Meanwhile, warm the black beans and corn in a pan or microwave.
  5. Remove sweet potatoes from the pot and let cool slightly. Slice open and fluff with a fork.
  6. Top with black beans, corn, avocado, salsa, red onion, and optional toppings.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For large sweet potatoes, add 2–3 extra minutes to the cook time.
  • Use homemade or store-bought salsa for quick assembly.
  • Customize toppings to match your favorite flavor profile—Tex-Mex, BBQ, Mediterranean, etc.
