How do I prepare the sweet potatoes for stuffing?

Wash the sweet potatoes, pierce them in 4-5 places, sprinkle with salt, and bake at 400 degreesF until tender, about 60 minutes.

What gives the chickpeas their distinctive flavor?

The chickpeas are cooked in a homemade adobo sauce, blended from water, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, oregano, and cumin, then mashed lightly as they cook.

Can I use store-bought chipotle puree?

The recipe specifies 1-2 teaspoons of chipotle puree, which is chipotle in adobo blended, so a store-bought blended version would work.

What kind of vegan bacon is recommended?

The recipe suggests using 4 strips of vegan bacon of your choice, cooked until crisp, either in the oven or a skillet.

How should I serve these stuffed sweet potatoes?

Split a cooked potato in half, top with the adobo chickpeas, add some chipotle cream, and sprinkle with chopped vegan bacon and minced green onions.

How to Prepare Chipotle Chickpeas Stuffed Sweet Potato [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Wash the sweet potatoes, pierce them in 4-5 places with a knife, and sprinkle with salt. Preheat the oven to 400°F, and bake until tender (no need to wait to preheat), about 60 minutes.
To make the adobo, combine the water, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a small blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. Heat a dry medium cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chickpeas and cook until golden, about 10 minutes, mashing the beans lightly as they cook. Add the adobo sauce, cover the skillet, and cook until the sauce is absorbed and the chickpeas are flavorful, about 8-10 minutes, adding a few tablespoons of water as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt.
Cook the vegan bacon either in the oven or in a skillet, either with oil or oil spray, until crisp. Chop and set aside.
Combine the sour cream and chipotle, mix well and set aside.
Split a cooked potato in half, top with the adobo chickpeas, add some chipotle cream, sprinkle on some bacon and green onions, and serve.
