BLACK BEAN AND AVOCADO LOADED BAKED POTATOES
Makes 2 potatoes

2 baking potatoes
1 Tbsp oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 - 15 oz can (1 ½ cups) black beans
½ cup corn, fresh or frozen
¼ cup chopped green pepper
½ cup water
Dash of salt
Hot sauce to taste
½ cup cheddar
½ avocado, sliced
¼ cup sour cream
1 chive, sliced


Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Scrub the potatoes. Cut a slit down the middle, lengthwise. Wrap in tinfoil, and place in the oven for 1 - 1 ½ hours, or until soft to squeeze.

While the potatoes are baking, in a large frying pan, fry the garlic and black beans for a few minutes on low heat. Add the corn, green peppers, and water and simmer until the water has evaporated. Season with salt and hot sauce.

Cut open the potatoes, sprinkle with cheese, top with the black bean mixture, sliced avocado, sour cream, and chives. Season with hot sauce.
