Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Poke sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until fork tender. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef and cook, breaking up any large pieces with the back of a spoon, for about 5 minutes or until just cooked through. Add chicken broth, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and spices and cook until liquid is thickened and saucy and meat is completely coated. Depending on how fatty your beef is, you may want to add more/less chicken broth to acheive a nice saucy consistency. Stir in vinegar. To serve, cut a slit down the center of sweet potatoes and gently pull open. Fill with taco filling, then top with a sprinkle of grated cheese, avocado, sour cream and green onion.

But I can ask her."She called Mom, who responded, "I always saw your Grandma do it, so I did the same."They decided to check further, so the young woman called Grandma, who explained, "It was the only way I could get it to fit into my pan."
