Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dice sweet potatoes into small, uniform cubes (approximately 1/2 inch). Toss the cubes with olive oil, cumin, and salt in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.
- Spread sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
- Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, until edges are crispy and golden brown.
- While sweet potatoes are roasting, drain and rinse black beans. Warm them in a small saucepan over medium heat with a pinch of salt.
- Warm corn tortillas in a skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds on each side to enhance their flavor and flexibility.
- Slice the avocado into thin, even slices just before assembling tacos.
- Assemble tacos by layering roasted sweet potatoes, warm black beans, and avocado slices on each tortilla.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately while ingredients are warm.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, make sure to cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even roasting.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet—this ensures your sweet potatoes get crispy, not steamed.
- Warming tortillas directly over a flame or skillet adds an authentic, slightly charred flavor that takes your tacos to the next level.
- Slice avocados just before serving to prevent browning and maintain their fresh, creamy texture.
- For extra kick, consider adding a sprinkle of chili powder to your sweet potatoes or a dash of hot sauce when serving.
- Fresh cilantro is key—it adds a bright, fresh note that elevates the entire dish.
- These tacos are best served immediately while ingredients are warm and tortillas are soft.
