I found this recipe on the Tasty Kitchen blog (see link below). They were sooo good! Really easy to throw together, too. I served these on corn tortillas, but had them for leftovers the next day without. Both ways were equally delicious. I love sweet potato, especially paired with ground turkey, and the girls LOVE black beans, so this meal was a win-win. We will definitely be having this again very soon. I served these with fresh fruit. Makes 6 servings.

You'll Need:
- 1/2 lb. ground beef or turkey (I used turkey)
- 2 Tblsp. taco seasoning
- 1/2 c. tomato sauce
- 1 can (15 oz.) black, kidney, or pinto beans (I used black)
- 6 c. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-in. cubes (about two large sweet potatoes)
- 2 Tblsp. butter
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 c. chopped fresh spinach
- 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
- optional garnishes: sour cream, salsa, guacamole
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Brown ground meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and beans. Set aside.
- To assemble packets, spray the foil with nonstick spray. Place 1 cup sweet potato cubes in the center of each piece. Top with a small piece of butter (about 1 teaspoon) and a pinch or two of salt. Sprinkle some chopped spinach over the sweet potatoes, followed by about 1/3 cup of taco meat and a sprinkle of cheese. Fold the sides in, then bring the top and bottom ends of the foil together in the center and fold, sealing the packet.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients, placing the packets on a rimmed cookie sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
