Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional)
  • Salsa or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  • Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes in olive oil, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.

  • Prepare the Black Beans: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add the black beans and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. You can also add a little bit of cumin or chili powder if you like.

  • Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warmed through.

  • Assemble the Tacos: Divide the roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned black beans among the tortillas. Top with sliced avocado, red onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Optionally, add salsa or hot sauce for an extra kick.

Notes

  • Make it Vegan: This recipe is naturally vegan, but be sure to use dairy-free toppings such as plant-based sour cream if preferred.
  • Add Cheese: For a non-vegan version, sprinkle some crumbled feta or shredded cheese on top.
  • Spice it Up: If you like it spicy, add some sliced jalapeños or drizzle with a spicy hot sauce.
