Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into small cubes.
  2. Season and Roast: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread them onto a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
  3. Prepare the Lime Crema: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream or Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: While the sweet potatoes roast, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they are pliable.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, shredded cabbage, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with lime crema and sprinkle with cilantro and cheese, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For a vegan version, omit the feta or cotija cheese. Customize toppings based on preference.
