Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes washed, scrubbed and pricked with a fork
  • olive oil extra virgin
  • salt and pepper
  • sour cream
  • Original or Chili Cheese Fritos
  • beef chili with beans see my recipe below
  • cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • green onions, scallions or chives finely diced
  • Hot and sweet jalapeños

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Rub the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Place prepped sweet potatoes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of your sweet potatoes.
  • Cut sweet potato open and add some sour cream. Mash the sour cream into the sweet potato so it melts a little. Add some Fritos, the chili, the cheddar cheese, and garnish with the green onions and the hot and sweet jalapeños. Make your second sweet potato Frito Pie. Enjoy while hot!
