Southwestern Stuffed Baked Potatoes


2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
1/3 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup prepared salsa
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of small lime
1/4 teaspoon fajita seasoning
Shredded cheddar
Sour cream (optional)

Preheat broiler.

Prick potatoes with a fork 4-5 times per side.  Microwave for 5 minutes.  Turn over.  Microwave for an additional 4 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, combine black beans and salsa in a small bowl.  In another small bowl, combine olive oil, lime zest, and fajita seasoning.

Put potatoes on a baking sheet.  Cut top of potatoes lengthwise with a knife.  With a towel, push ends of the potatoes together to split open.  Fluff the cooked potatoes with a fork.  Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the potatoes and stir gently to combine.  Spoon the black beans and salsa over the top.  Top with shredded cheddar according to personal preference.

Place baking sheet under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling, but not too browned.  Top with a dollop of sour cream, if desired, and serve immediately.
