Ingredients
- four 6 ½-ounce sweet potatoes
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 2 scallions, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon tabasco
- 2 tablespoon fat-free greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sweet chile sauce
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced finely
- 1/2 cup canned corn kernels, drained
- 1/3 cup frozen green peas, thawed
- one 3-ounce can chunk light tuna in water, drained

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a rack set over a baking sheet, and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and leave so the flavors can develop while the potatoes are cooking. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, cut a deep cross in each, and pry open. Spoon ¼ of the mixture into each one.
