Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them several times with a fork.
Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender. While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, and black beans, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a boat.
Mix the scooped sweet potato flesh into the beef mixture for added creaminess. Spoon the beef mixture generously into each sweet potato half.
For the avocado lime drizzle, combine the ripe avocado, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Drizzle the avocado lime sauce over the stuffed sweet potatoes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm, allowing everyone to enjoy their own delicious taco boat!
