Tinga Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

This recipe does call for the Aji Verde sauce in the archives. Ingredients are not included in this grocery list.

The Sloppy Joe Sweet Potato from the very early days of SKCC is still a household favorite. I’ve started to cut back on steps since then, as I am sure the pandemic has done to most of us. These days I am leaning into a fridge stocked with sauces and bits that make meals better: a jar of pickled onions, a double batch of avo crema; good sharp cheeses and homemade vinaigrettes. This dish is a product of that.

You may not prefer the same cuisine for multiple days in a row. For me, it’s become one less thing to think about. Especially if it’s byproduct is this good.

Caramelized sweet potatoes stuffed with a heap of easy chicken tinga — we’ve done both here before. I’m not reinventing the wheel, but reminding you leftovers can be fun and don’t have to require so much headspace.
