Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Jalapeño slices (optional)
  • Extra cilantro (optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional)
  • Hot honey (for drizzling)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (for sweet potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry sweet potatoes, poke with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40–45 minutes or until fork-tender.
  2. While sweet potatoes bake, combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a skillet over low heat. Heat until warmed through.
  3. Once sweet potatoes are cooked, slice them open and lightly mash the inside with a fork.
  4. Fill each sweet potato with BBQ chicken and sprinkle shredded pepper jack cheese over the top.
  5. Return stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. In a bowl, mix corn, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, pepper, cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro to make the street corn (elote) topping.
  7. Spoon the elote topping over the melted cheese and BBQ chicken stuffed sweet potatoes.
  8. Drizzle hot honey and garnish with jalapeño slices, extra cilantro, and lime wedges if desired before serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh corn for the elote topping and adjust the amount of BBQ sauce and hot honey to your preferred level of sweetness and heat. The sweet potatoes can be prepared ahead and reheated before assembling.
