Guacamole loaded Sweet Potatoes

I never would have thought of combining sweet potatoes and guacamole until I saw the idea on Pinterest! The flavors pair together really well, and we love this meal! It’s quick and easy to make on a week night after work. And it’s quite filling, especially with a salad. But, I will sometimes serve it with a side of quinoa, as well.

This super simple recipe of guacamole loaded sweet potatoes is a great recipe for campervans everywhere. There is no requirement of an oven, and can all be cooked on a single stove. We all know this is ideal for vanlife. This meal is a great vegan main that can be served with a side salad, or reduce the portions and use it as a side.

Avocado’s are one of those things that seems to take forever to ripen and then suddenly it’s ready and then goes overripe! If you are looking for a recipe to use up ripe avocado then this is great as it uses a lot of ingredients you may already have in your van.

This recipe is a favourite of featured @happy_vagabonds you can read their feature right here. They took inspiration for this recipe from Food with feeling and made it vanlife friendly. We love this! You can still eat what you want when cooking in a campervan or any tiny home for that matter. Sometimes you may just need a little creativity and a few tweaks. That is one of the many exciting aspects of vanlife!

    The ingredients list says 4 avocado and 1 avocado and no tomato. But in step 2 it says to chop the tomato. How many avocados should be used and how many tomatoes? Thanks!
