Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 red onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8-10 corn tortillas
  • Toppings: avocado lime wedges, cilantro, vegan sour cream, pickled red onions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
  • While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the black beans and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Warm your tortillas either in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel, or directly over a gas flame for added char.
  • Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the roasted sweet potatoes and black bean mixture. Top with your chosen garnishes.
