Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a great side dish that pair well with almost any meal! Before paleo, I thought of sweet potatoes purely as a Thanksgiving vegetable. This all changed after going paleo. Sweet potatoes provide a wide array of nutrients from vitamin C, antioxidants to paleo-friendly carbs! They are a versatile vegetable that can be…
