# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes, or until tender.
03 - While the sweet potatoes roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and chipotle. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
04 - Add black beans, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, mashing some beans with a spoon for a thicker texture. Stir in lime juice and keep warm.
05 - Combine tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Toss well and set aside.
06 - Once sweet potatoes are cooked, split each open. Fluff the flesh with a fork.
07 - Spoon chipotle black beans over each sweet potato. Top generously with tomato salsa. Add avocado slices, extra cilantro, and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately.
