Cheesy Chipotle Lime Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are sweet, smoky and a little spicy. They're an excellent side dish or even a vegetarian main dish! #sweetpotato #twicebaked #potatoes #sidedish #chipotle #cheesy #vegetarian #glutenfreeI’m giving you a break from the salads this week, but they’ll be back next week whether you like it or not. Hopefully you’ve been liking them, I’m particularly fond of this California Cobb Salad I shared last week. Today I’m sharing these spicy, sweet Cheesy Chipotle Lime Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes.

Sometimes I feel like they’re a little cumbersome to make, but they are by far my favorite way to eat potatoes. When I say cumbersome I don’t mean difficult, just more time consuming then roasting, boiling or mashing. That double bake though is worth the extra 15 minutes. 

This particular version is the perfect combination of spicy, sweet and smokey flavors. The amount of spiciness can easily be adjusted to your taste by adding as much or little of the chipotles in adobo as you like. I’m somewhere in the middle when it comes to chipotles. I love that spicy smoky kick, but I also want to taste everything else. I went with using one chipotle and a tablespoon of the adobo sauce for this recipe.

To give the filling a creamy consistency I mixed in plain Greek yogurt. You can use sour cream if you prefer, but Greek yogurt is something that is always in my fridge. 

Whenever I make Southwest or Mexican food there of course must be cilantro added in. No exceptions were made with these Cheesy Chipotle Lime Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes. You’ll also find green onions and plenty of shredded cheddar cheese.

Top them with extra cilantro, green onions and a drizzle of plain Greek yogurt for a healthy and filling side dish.
