Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 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
  • Optional toppings: jalapeño slices, extra cilantro, lime wedges, hot sauce
  • Hot honey lime drizzle (made by mixing honey, lime juice, and a pinch of chili or hot sauce)

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.
  2. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 40–45 minutes or until fork-tender.
  3. While potatoes bake, combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a skillet over low heat and warm through.
  4. Slice open the baked sweet potatoes and lightly mash the inside with a fork.
  5. Fill each sweet potato with the BBQ chicken mixture and sprinkle shredded pepper jack cheese on top.
  6. Return stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. In a bowl, mix corn, Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, pepper, cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro to make the elote topping.
  8. Spoon the elote topping over the melted cheese and BBQ chicken stuffed sweet potatoes.
  9. Drizzle with hot honey lime sauce and garnish with optional jalapeño slices, extra cilantro, lime wedges, or hot sauce as desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh corn when in season for the elote topping. The hot honey lime drizzle adds a perfect balance of sweetness and heat that complements the smoky BBQ chicken. Adjust chili powder and hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
