Ingredients:  
6 small sweet potatoes (about 2 ¼ pounds)
olive oil cooking spray
1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Adjust oven rack to center of oven.

Place whole sweet potatoes on a sheet pan covered in foil or parchment, poke each a few times with a fork. Bake until fork tender, 40-45 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Switch oven from bake to broil.

Meanwhile in a small bowl combine black beans with taco seasoning.
Cut sweet potatoes in half and carefully scoop out flesh with a metal spoon, leaving about ¼-inch of flesh intact.* Place potatoes, skin side up back on the sheet pan, spray with olive oil, top with pinch salt and pepper, and broil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skins from oven, turn over and fill each with black beans, 1 tbsp salsa and 1 tbsp cheese then return to oven to broil 2 minutes more.

Top with each skin with scallions and cilantro and eat right away.
