Preheat the oven to 400*F.

Scrub sweet potatoes and poke a few times with a knife. Wrap in foil {if desired and bake on a baking sheet for 1 hour [or cook potatoes in a microwave for 4-8 minutes per potato].

Take potatoes out of oven and let cool for a few minutes. Unwrap and slice in half {from end to end}. Transfer potato halves to a baking sheet.

Meanwhile, stir together chicken, black beans, and salsa.

Use a spoon to scoop out some {about a tablespoon or so} of the inside of each sweet potato to make some room for your filling. Pack about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chicken-bean-salsa filling onto each potato.

Bake in oven for 10 minutes until filling is hot. Serve or if desired, top each potato with about 2 tablespoons of cheese and bake another 5 minutes.

Enjoy!
