This dish is smoky and spicy. The chipotle pepper is a smoked and sauced pepper sold in a can and it has rich, deep flavour. Trust me, one pepper is enough as they are very spicy. This recipe generously serves 2 and can easily be doubled. Prepare all the other ingredients first and then spiralize the sweet potatoes as they will turn brown after they are cut.
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, spiralized with the medium blade
½ purple onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, stem and seed removed and finely chopped
1 chipotle pepper, canned in adobo sauce
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp of avocado oil
1-2 eggs/person
Garnishes: sliced green onions, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, cubed avocado
Instructions
Heat 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a wide skillet with a lid on medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper and saute for 5 minutes.
Add the chipotle with adobo sauce and chili powder, stir and saute for 1 minute.
Add the spiralized sweet potato noodles, cutting them with scissors to make them a length that is easier to eat.
Season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, approximately 7 minutes, stirring often.
Make a well in the sweet potatoes for each egg. Pour a small amount of avocado oil into each well and crack an egg into the well. Cover and cook until the white is opaque and the yolk is still runny, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Serve garnished with green onions, chopped cilantro, avocado and lime wedges.
