Servings: 12 tacos
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes (or 3 medium), cut into ½ inch chunks
- 4 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup yellow onion finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 14.5 oz. black beans drained and rinsed
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 12 corn tortillas
- cilantro
- cotija cheese
- avocado dressing (spicy avocado dressing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Add the cut sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl and toss together to coat the sweet potatoes in the seasonings.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, grab a large skillet. Over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil, along with the onion. Saute until the onion is translucent, 3-4 minutes and then add the garlic and black beans. Cook the beans until they soften slightly, about 2-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add in the lime juice and stir. Set aside.
- If you have a gas stove, heat the tortillas directly over the flame until they’re charred slightly. If you have an electric stove, heat the tortillas in a skillet. Spoon some of the roasted sweet potatoes and the black bean mixture into each tortilla.
- Serve tacos with chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, and my avocado dressing Enjoy!
