Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa

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.
