Russets aren’t the only potatoes worth stuffing.
Stuff roasted sweet potatoes with a mixture of spicy chorizo, cotija cheese, peppers, and onions.
I love sweet potatoes.

The natural sweetness is an inherent draw, and they lend themselves to so many different preparations.
I feel like I could eat some iteration of them every week and still clamor for more.
Though they turn out delicious every time, sometimes I want to switch it up.

Enter this recipe for Chorizo-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.
For those unfamiliar with Cotija cheese, its a salty, crumbly cows milk cheese originally from Mexico.
(Some call Cotija the Parmesan of Mexico.)

How to Bake Sweet Potatoes
This recipe is very straightforward.
The main thing to account for is the time it takes to bake the sweet potatoes.
(A vegetable brush is great if you have one, but your hands will work fine.)

It can also serve as a quick weeknight meal if the sweet potatoes are already baked.
Thoroughly wash the potatoes under running water, making sure to get off any dirt.
Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Stuff the sweet potatoes with the chorizo mixture, sprinkle with some cheese and cilantro, and serve.
The leftovers will keep for a few days, covered, in the refrigerator.
