Savory Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- to taste salt and pepper
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup diced red onion
- fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the black beans. In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they become pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of roasted sweet potatoes on each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of black beans.
- Top with slices of avocado, diced red onion, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
