Tex-Mex Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a great staple to have on hand. Cooking them in the oven isn't the quickest thing of course, but the flavor is so much better so if you have the time, I always opt for baking them in the oven over putting them in the microwave. If you're short on time though, just stick the pierced potatoes in the microwave for about 5-10 minutes or until soft.
