Wash the sweet potato and then prick the skin a few times with a fork. Place the sweet potato on a baking tray and bake until soft.
While the sweet potato is baking, start making the fillling .Place a pan over high heat, add tbsp of oil, chopped onion, bell peppers, and fresh tomatoes, sauté for 3 minutes. Then add red beans and the rest of ingredients.Continue stirring for 3 to 5 minutes and then remove the mixture from the heat and set aside to cool.
Once the sweet potato is soft, make sure to take it out of the oven and let it cool a little so it can be handled easily. When the sweet potato become easy to handle, you’re ready to assemble.
