Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes and poke holes in them with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the potatoes are baking, mix the black beans, corn, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, green onions, nutritional yeast, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Assemble: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Fluff the insides with a fork and then load them with the prepared toppings.
- Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro on top for an added burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
