Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 medium sweet potatoes
  • 15.0 oz black beans
  • 1.0 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon cumin
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 8.0 small corn tortillas
  • 1.0 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1.0 whole avocado
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
  • 0.0 for serving lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the black beans until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the sweet potatoes and black beans are cooking, warm the corn tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrapping them in foil and placing them in the oven for the last 5 minutes of the sweet potatoes' cooking time.
  • To assemble the tacos, place a couple of spoonfuls of roasted sweet potatoes and a scoop of black beans on each warm tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, slices of avocado, and chopped cilantro.
  • Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing on top just before eating. Enjoy your crispy black bean and sweet potato tacos!
