Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos

Ingredients
  

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • 1-2 medium sweet potatoes diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chipotle chili in adobo sauce

Seasoned Black Beans

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed

Tortillas

  • corn or flour tortillas (street corn size)

Lime Crema

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 avocado
  • ¼ cup cotija cheese
  • fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • In a bowl, combine diced sweet potatoes, olive oil and chipotle chilis in adobo sauce. Toss to combine.
  • Roast sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • While potatoes are roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add onions and saute 5-7 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and continue cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add black beans and continue to cook, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes until the beans are soft and heated throughout. If the beans seem dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap tortillas in foil and place directly on the oven rack. Heat for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
  • While the tortillas are heating, make the lime crema. Combine the sour cream, lime juice and zest in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Fill tacos with seasoned beans and sweet potatoes. Top with lime creme, diced avocado, cotija cheese and fresh cilantro.
