Poke holes with a fork all through your sweet potatoes for faster cooking time.

Bake sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot for 15 minutes, adding a little water to the bottom and placing sweet potatoes on the trivet. Seal the vent.

If you don't have an Instant Pot, bake at 425°F for 45-60 minutes.

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil or vegetable stock in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add cumin and taco seasoning; stir together.

Add black beans, corn, and fire roasted tomatoes to the skillet; stir and cook until heated through.

Once sweet potatoes are done, cut a slit through the top but not straight through the whole potato, then fluff the potato.

Top the sweet potato with the skillet mix and your favorite toppings like cilantro, lime juice, avocado, vegan cheese, or vegan sour cream.
