Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 2

Place the avocado, cilantro, avocado oil, garlic, yogurt, lime juice, and sea salt in your food processor.

Step 3

Process until it’s smooth and combined, about 15 seconds.

Step 4

Stream in the water, if needed, to thin out the sauce.

Step 5

Transfer to a bowl or cup with a spout and set aside.

Step 6

Clean out the food processor, you’ll use this later for your sweet potato rice.

Step 7

Slice the peppers in half, scoop out the seeds and rinse them.

Step 8

Place the peppers on a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and use your hands to coat the peppers in oil.

Step 10

Turn them flat side down and roast in the over for 15 minutes until softened.

Step 11

While the peppers are roasting, spiralize the sweet potatoes on the smallest noodle setting.

Step 12

Then, place half of the noodles into the food processor with the blade and pulse until they are chopped up and smaller than rice consistency. Mine ended up being couscous consistency.

Step 13

Work in batches – transfer the “rice” to a bowl and continue until all the noodles are made into rice.

Step 14

Heat the last two tablespoons of avocado oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Step 15

Transfer the sweet potato rice and chopped onion to the pan.

Step 16

Sauté, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

Step 17

Add the taco seasoning and broth to the pan and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes until the rice is softened and there is no more liquid in the pan.

Step 18

When the peppers are done roasting (after 15 minutes they’ll be softened but still with a raw crunch, if you prefer a softer pepper shell, roast them for another 15 minutes).

Step 19

Plate the pepper shells (about 2 per person) and fill them with the sweet potato rice mixture. Top with crumbled cotija, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of the avocado cilantro sauce.

Step 20

Serve with salsa and enjoy!
