Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (1/2 inch)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
Zest of 1 lime
Fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and pickled onions for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt until evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned on the edges.
Step 4: While the potatoes roast, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the red onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the black beans and lime juice, stirring until warmed through.
Step 5: Prepare the lime crema by whisking together the Greek yogurt and lime zest in a small bowl.
Step 6: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame for 30 seconds per side.
Step 7: Assemble the tacos by layering the black bean mixture and roasted sweet potatoes onto the warm tortillas. Drizzle with lime crema and top with cilantro, avocado, and pickled onions.
Notes
For a smokier flavor, add a teaspoon of chipotle powder to the sweet potatoes before roasting.
