Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small green pepper, chopped

- While potatoes are baking, heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bell pepper in oil 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in beans and tomatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot.
- Split potatoes and mash slightly. Top each potato with chili mixture. Top with sour cream (if desired) and cilantro.
