Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos Flavorful and Easy Dish
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- 8 pieces corn or flour tortillas
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- for garnish fresh cilantro
- for serving lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the pepper is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the black beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and gently fold them into the black bean mixture, combining everything evenly.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the sweet potato and black bean mixture onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices and fresh cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
