Guacajacks are one of those recipes we come back to again and again because they just hit differently. Crispy baked sweet potato skins loaded with smoky fillings and finished with the most indulgent homemade guacamole, it's Mexican comfort food at its absolute best. You get that gorgeous contrast of soft, sweet potato flesh against cool, creamy avo and a proper kick from the chilli oil if you go for it. We love making these on a Friday night when we want something that feels a bit special but without spending hours in the kitchen. Trust us, once you've had one of these you'll be adding them to the regular rotation.
