Instructions
Preheat the Oven & Season Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Prepare the Black Beans:
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add a pinch of cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep them warm until they are ready to serve.
Make the Guacamole:
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Stir in the chopped red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Warm the Tortillas:
Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are warm and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos:
Lay out the warm tortillas and fill each one with a spoonful of roasted sweet potatoes and black beans. Top with a generous dollop of guacamole.
Add Toppings & Garnish:
Finish by adding your favorite toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, or salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
