Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then place them in the basket of the air fryer. Rub with avocado oil.
Air fry at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes, or until tender.
While potatoes are cooking, make the salsa. In a mixing bowl, add tomato, beans, corn, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and kosher salt. Stir to combine, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
Split open cooked potatoes and serve filled with black beans salsa. Top with hot sauce if desired.
If you want your salsa extra hot, don't remove the seeds from the jalapeno.
This meal works really well for meal prep. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat, up to 5 days.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
