Loaded Pulled Pork Sweet Potatoes
These amazing loaded pulled pork sweet potatoes are the perfect way to use leftover pulled pork! With fresh mango guacamole and a touch of cheese, they are impossible to resist. Gluten free and dairy free options included.
It started off innocent enough. I was trying to decide on a fun way to use up some of my crockpot chocolate stout pulled pork and then I wound up with this.
Leftover sweet potatoes became this totally loaded ridiculously good meal.
And Iβm not even the least bit ashamed. Because oh.my.goodness. This was one of my finer moves if I do say so myself.
I mean, just look at it.
My husband thinks Iβm nuts but I think itβs just gorgeous.
That mango guacamole sitting on top of a perfectly cooked sweet potato and smothered in pulled pork. And thereβs a little bit of cheese too.
This is what I call awesomely repurposed leftovers. Itβs a totally new meal. And thereβs guacamole involved so thereβs that too.
And if youβre not in the mood for sweet potatoes or pork, just go ahead and make a batch of the mango guacamole by itself and enjoy with a giant bowl of chips.
And maybe a margarita β¦ or two. That may or may not have happened this weekend.

Loaded Pulled Pork Sweet Potatoes
These amazing loaded pulled pork sweet potatoes are the perfect way to use leftover pulled pork! With fresh mango guacamole and a touch of cheese, they are impossible to resist. Gluten free and dairy free options included.
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- olive oil, for drizzling
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- ΒΌ cup diced fresh mango
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- ΒΌ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- ΒΌ teaspoon salt
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- good squeeze of lime juice (about Β½ of a lime)
- 1 Β½ to 2 cups leftover pulled pork, warmed*
- about Β½ cup shredded regular or dairy free cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Cut out three squares of aluminum foil and place a sweet potato on each. Drizzle each potato lightly with olive oil and use your fingers to rub into the potato. Use a fork to prick each potato several times then wrap each lightly with the foil.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes. You can check for doneness by carefully inserting a knife into the potato - it should glide easily into the potato (and not feel resistance). When done, remove from the oven, unwrap the foil and let cool slightly.
- Preheat your broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
- While the potatoes are cooling down, cut the avocados in half, remove the seed and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until it is pretty much smooth. Add in the mango, red onion, cilantro, salt, red pepper flakes and lime juice. Mix until combined. Taste and adjust the salt / red pepper to your own taste. Set aside.
- Make a long slit down each sweet potato so you can pry it open a bit. Top with some of the pulled pork and then some of the pepper jack cheese and place on the prepared baking sheet. Broil for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and serve with a generous dollop of the guacamole.
Notes
*To keep these dairy free / gluten free - be sure to use an appropriate pulled pork recipe.

Mind…BLOWN!! How did I miss the Chocolate Stout post?! I’m obsessed. I cannot wait to try these!!
I love seeing how to use the pulled pork in 2 recipes! 2 completely different ways, yet both fabulous meals! And that mango guac is awesome!!
It IS gorgeous. We have leftover pulled pork in the fridge as I write this. Wheels are turning…..
Do itttttt lol
I use to eat stuffed potatoes all the time. Maybe too much because I stopped. Now, this looks like a great time to start back up again. A loaded pork sweet potato sounds like something that would make my tummy happy π
I’ve been tying a variety of stuffed sweet potatoes lately. I can’t believe I rarely cooked with them before! Sweet potato flavor goes so well with so many things! The carnivores at my house are going to love this one! The mango salsa and guacamole piled on a sweet potato would be pretty delicious even without meat for the vegetarians too!
They do go well with so much! And yes, even without the pork they would be awesome!
YES! This looks amazing Ashley! Love stuffed sweet potatoes, especially with all this goodness! And I’m a big fan of mango guac π
Ok, I’ve been drooling over this since, yesterday and just got over here!! So seriously delicious looking Ashley! Yay for Cinco De Mayo!
It’s sweet potatoes like these that make me want to just buy the biggest bag imaginable and eat them all day long. It’s just about the prettiest darn potato I’ve ever seen! π
haha thank ya Jess!
These look amazing! I love the sound of mango guacamole- so different! These definitely look like the perfect dinner! π
Great recipe, Ashley!! These look amazing! I love Cinco de Mayo food π
Mmmm this would be good for breakfast!! haha
Hmm … I have some sweet potatoes hanging out in the fridge, plus some mango chutney and an avocado. I don’t have the pork, unfortunately, but I do have some leftover roast chicken. This may just end up as tonight’s dinner … or something very close to it! Thanks!
Sounds like it could be one great dinner as well!
Update: yup, this dinner did in fact happen, with a few changes, and was a roaring success! I used feta for the cheese as that’s what I had and made a ‘sort of’ salsa with corn, peppers & sundried tomatoes to go on top as well. It was honestly delicious, so thanks for the inspiration, Ashley! I’ll definitely be doing this again, maybe even with your delicious pulled pork next time (which was the whole point – I know)
haha nope that sounds amazing! And with feta … do you know how much I love feta??
I love piling leftovers on top of sweet potatoes! Chili and pulled pork are two of my favorite things to pile on top. And this mango guacamole would go great with either. Can’t wait to try this the next time I have leftover pulled pork!
You are so right – a completely gorgeous meal!! Love the sweet potato, pulled pork and salsa – too good!!
What a fun and healthy way to use up that leftover pork. I love all the bright colors in these photos. So pretty! And there is nothing better (not much, at least!) than mango chunks in salsa and guacamole. Hope your week is starting out well.
Mmm, cheeeese. I love the pork and mango combo, these are gorgeous!
I am totally down with this. I love sweet potatoes and everything else separately so why not together?! I always have at least 6 sweet potatoes on hand so I just need to work on the other components now. : )
Same here – we always seem to have extra sweet potatoes! (not that I’m complaining about that fact!)
i loooove repurposed leftovers! my favorite was this pulled pork cornbread pot pie i made over & over again last year. this sounds awesome! now, to make the pulled pork π
What a wonderful way to use up pulled pork! I love sweet potatoes in savory dishes. And that mango guacamole? Gorgeous! I could eat a whole bowl of it π
As a sweet potato lover, I can confirm that sounds officially awesome. Even without pork (since I’m not too keen on the stuff). Douse it with a thick layer of hot sauce, and there is the perfect meal! π
WOW! These loaded sweet potatoes look fantastic! I love finding new ways to use shredded pork, because I too will make a big batch, and then make numerous meals to follow! yum yum, will need to try this π
I was already sold when you said mangoes would be involved on Friday but a mango guac stuffed in sweet potatoes along with your pulled pork? Pure genius lady and I am totally in love with all the gorgeousness happening! Especially the mango guacamole -I’d be one happy camper eating it by the spoonful π
We did taco toppings on sweet potatoes the other night, and it was SO good. Definitely adding this to my list of things to make!
This looks beyond delicious! Adding mangoes to the guacamole is brilliant!
Oh my goodness – mango gauc???? How amazingly brilliant is that! Thanks lady! I would be happy with just the mango guac – but loading up that sweet potato with the pork and this – partay in my mouth!
Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!
haha exactly – we were loving the guac by itself and then we put it on these … heaven!
I love what you’ve done with that pulled pork — it IS a beauty to behold! This is my kind of meal right here, and with a margarita, absolutely perfect. π I just made mango guacamole yesterday and loved it — it was my first time trying it. This is one delish dish!
The mango guacamole sounds fantastic. What a great idea.
You know how to start the week off right!
You’re really making me regret packing up my crockpot already for our move next week! I was craving pulled pork after your last post and now I’m NEEDING it bad. I love stuffing sweet potatoes with anything I can find in my refrigerator so these look like something I would go crazy for. Pinning for after we unpack π
haha that’s the worst part of moving! Not having access to all your normal stuff while packing!
This was the mango teaser I was waiting for all weekend and I am so excited! I LOVE stuffed sweet potatoes and with a mango guac? Totally and definitely trying this out! Hope you had a great weekend Ashley!
Thanks Chelsea! Hope you had a great weekend too!
Men, I love loaded potato dishes and I miss immensely sweet potatoes. A touch of that avocado with mango…beautiful! :)ela
These look beyond delicious!! Everything about them sounds amazing, from the pulled pork to the mango guac. Love it! Pinned π
Ok, I completely agree with you. These do look absolutely gorgeous! I’ve seen meat stuffed sweet potatoes before but I’ve always been a little nervous about them. This one, however, I can get on board with. Especially this close to Cinco De Mayo! I mean, it’s only appropriate, right?
Definitely – clearly needs to happen for Cinco!! lol
