Sweet potatoes pair wonderfully with this simple chili recipe.
Add one more chipotle pepper if you want to spice up this healthy sweet potato recipe.
Prick sweet potatoes in several places with a fork and place on the prepared pan.
Bake until tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and scallion whites.
Add tomato paste, chipotles to taste, paprika, and salt.
Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste begins to brown, about 1 minute.
Cover and keep warm.
Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
Leaving the skins intact, carefully scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Add 1 cup of the chili mixture and stir to combine.
Fill each potato skin with the sweet potato-chili mixture (the skins will be full).
Return to the baking sheet and top with remaining chili mixture and cheese.
Bake until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
Top with scallion greens and garnish with sour cream, if desired.
