Plant Based Tex Mex Stuff Potatoes

The original recipe for this is not plant based and does include dairy. However, I am sharing with you the plant based version that I made. It sounds like this would not make a meal but it is very filling and delicious.

Ingredients:

5 russet Potatoes

1 can( 15oz) Organic Black Beans

3/4 cup of Organic Sweet Corn ( I used my homemade sweet corn)

1 organic red bell pepper( Diced)

1 organic green bell pepper(diced)

1 yellow onion(diced)

1/8 tsp. organic chili powder

1/4 cup plant based butter ( I use wegmans)

1/2 cup plant based greek yogurt or yogurt

Course Kosher Salt

Violife colby & monterey jack cheese

Instuctions:

1. Wash potatoes and use kosher salt for slightly coating potatoes and poke potatoes with fork

2. Cook potatoes in the oven, microwave, or air fryer how you would normally bake potatoes. I used the senor setting on my microwave for baked potatoes.

3. While potatoes are cooking. Mix black beans, corn, bell peppers, onion, and chili powder on stove top in saucepan for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

4. Once potatoes are cooked. Cut potatoes lengthwise and scoop out potatoes into vegetable mixture leaving about 1/4 inch thick shells. Add butter, yogurt and mash mixture until desired consistency. I left mine slightly chunky.

5. Spoon mixture back into the shells until they are slightly overfilled then put them back into the microwave, top with cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

6. Enjoy!!
