1 can (15 ounces) of black beans, rinse and dry, or 1 ½ cup cooked black beans

4 ounces (1 cup) grated Monterey Jack cheese

2 ounces (½ cup) chopped feta cheese

2 small jars (4 ounces each) diced green chilli

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleaning. Cut the sweet potatoes in half and lightly coat the flat sides with olive oil. Place sweet potatoes flat side down on a baking sheet. Bake them until they are soft and cooked, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour enough salsa into a 9 by 13 inch baking dish to lightly cover the bottom (approximately ½ cup). In a medium bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients for the filling.
• After the sweet potatoes are cooked and sufficiently cooled, treat the inside with a spoon. Discard the potato peel, and knead the sweet potato a little.
