Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large bunch kale stems removed and roughly chopped
  • 8-10 corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • Optional toppings: avocado cotija cheese, cilantro, red onion, hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss sweet potato cubes with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread seasoned sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are crispy.
  • While the sweet potatoes roast, toss the chopped kale with remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • When sweet potatoes are nearly done, add the kale to the same baking sheet and return to oven for 5-7 minutes until slightly crispy.
  • Warm tortillas either directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet.
  • Assemble tacos by filling each tortilla with the roasted sweet potato and kale mixture, then add your chosen toppings.
