I’d like to thank Knorr for sponsoring my Rice, Black Beans and Corn Stuffed Sweet Potatoes  recipe.

As much as I love the holidays, including those big holiday meals, I reach a point in late December when I just want to eat something different. That craving for something different is what inspired me to create these delicious rice, black beans and corn stuffed sweet potatoes. Oh, and I made these in a snap with a little help from Knorr Selects Rustic Mexican Rice and Beans!

Of all the Knorr Selects flavors, the Rustic Mexican Rice and Beans is my favorite. It’s really wonderful on its own, but I’ve loved creating delicious family meals using this scrumptious product.

I continue to reach for Knorr Selects when I’m planning my family’s meals because it’s yummy and simple to prepare. I also love that it has no artificial flavors or preservatives. I love that Knorr Selects inspires me to create easy family meals that I can put together in a pinch that are full of flavor.

I just recently realized how much I adore stuffed sweet potatoes. There are a variety of ingredients that you can use to create a savory stuffed sweet potato, and I love this combination of rice, sweet corn and black beans.

Top each sweet potato with some salsa, cheese and a little fresh cilantro and you’ll have a tasty and better-for-you meal that’s loaded with flavor.

This recipe offers a great way for you to get creative on taco Tuesday! Add some tortilla chips to your plate for a little crunch to make this dish even more special.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday, a happy new year, and that you love these tasty stuffed sweet potatoes as much as I do!
