CHORIZO STUFFED SWEET POTATO 
Simple, healthy and yummy! The chorizo spicyness is cut by the sweetness of the potato and butter.

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tbsp. butter, divided
1 large chorizo sausage (I use Trader Joe's brand)
4 tbsp. Queso Fresco cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Pierce both potatoes and wrap in tin foil with 1 tablespoon each butter at top of potato.

Roast at 375°F until tender, about 1 hour.

Remove sausage from casing, place into medium fry pan and brown slightly.

To assemble, place each potato on a plate. Slit down the middle, mash open just a little with a fork, and divide the sausage equally between both potatoes. Crumble 2 tablespoons each cheese over sausage.

Note: Any remaining melted butter from the tin foil can be drizzled over top.

Makes 2 servings.
