Add Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos To The Menu

potato

sea salt

black pepper

chilli powder (or seasoning of choice)

tbsp arrowroot starch (or cornstarch, optional for extra crispiness)

olive oil

½ large avocado*

sour cream (try our easy 4 Ingredient Sour Cream!)

lime, juiced (about 2 tbsp)

Sprinkle of salt

2-3 tbsp cold water to thin (add more or less as desired)

garlic clove,

black beans (can use frozen)

corn kernels (can use frozen)

hot chilli pepper, deseeded and minced

tsp orange zest (can use frozen)

orange juice, optional

cilantro

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. 

Wash, dry, and dice sweet potatoes (I like to leave the skin on). Season potatoes with salt, pepper and chilli powder. Then coat in the starch. Then add the oil and toss the potatoes until no more starch is visible. 

Bake at 425 for 25 &#8211; 30 minutes, tossing and rotating the pan halfway.

As the sweet potato bakes, heat oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the corn kernels and season with salt and pepper. Char the corn for about 8 minutes, stirring occassionally, until nicely browned and starting to pop. 

While the corn chars you can multitask and make the crema if you haven’t made it beforehand. Slice your avocado in half. Scoop the flesh out of the half without the pit and add it to a blender or food processor. Add the sour cream, lime juice, and sprinkle of salt and blend until smooth. 

Once the corn is charred, add the beans and minced chilli pepper, cook for another 3 minutes or so to heat the beans through. Add the orange zest and splash of orange juice if using. Stir for another minute and then remove from the heat and keep warm until ready to serve.

When your sweet potato is close to done, heat your tortillas as directed on your package. 

Remove the pit from the remaining half of the avocado by gently squeezing the sides of the avocado to loosen the pit OR carefully striking the pit with the blade of your knife (strike it with the whole flat edge, not the tip) and twist to pull the pit loose. Carefully use the tip of your knife to score the flesh of the avocado into cubes. Then guide a spoon around the edges of the avocado to scoop out the flesh (it will come out nicely cubed instead of struggling to slice the slippery avocado outside the skin).

Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of your crema on the warmed tortillas, top with the spicy citrus corn and beans, then the roasted sweet potato. Garnish with cilantro and more drizzled crema (you can add a bit more water to thin out some crema and make more of a drizzle for the top). Enjoy warm!

DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! I love sweet potato but I must admit the avocado lime creama is the star of this recipe.

Loaded with tangy slaw and black beans, these easy sweet potato tacos are the comforting vegetarian dinner that Meatless Monday dreams are made of.

This was so good! The flavors paired very well together! I will definitely be making this again!

I wanted to make these immediately when I read the recipe. The only change I made was to add cilantro lime rice because I already had to rice made and needed to use it. The dish is amazing!  Such a wonderful blend of flavors and textures. I will be making these often.

Been trying to go more plant based since my hubby and I are 55 now! I used fresco cheese these were delish! Will definitely make these again!

Fantastic recipe. I've been looking for more meatless recipes that are also filling and this one hits the spot. It's a very easy recipe to follow and doesn't take much time to prepare. Make sure you're cutting those sweet potatoes small enough or else you'll have to increase the cooking time to make sure they're done all the way. 

For add-ons, I did avocado and goat cheese crumbles. I highly recommend the goat cheese. It contrasts very nicely with the other flavors. The slaw balances out the textures and gives these tacos a satisfying crunch. I'll definitely be making this again - it's simple, healthy, and filling and the leftovers were just as delicious as the first night.

You can try serving this to your toddler with the components separated if they aren't quite up to holding and eating a regular taco. Simply arrange the filling, the tortillas, and toppings on a plate and let them eat them however they like!

red bell pepper

sweet potatoes (about 2 large or 3 medium)

black beans, drained and rinsed

chili powder and garlic powder

lime,

Pico de gallo,

Sour cream, goat cheese

cilantro,

Optional sauces: Guacamole, Chipotle Ranch, Chipotle Sauce

Preheat

Adjust the oven racks for roasting two trays. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Slice the onion and slice the bell pepper into wide slices. Chop the sweet potato. Place it in a large bowl with the black beans (drained and rinsed). 

Season the veggies

Mix in the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and kosher salt and stir until everything is evenly coated. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (we prefer this to silicone baking mats because it results in crispier veggies). Spread the vegetables evenly onto each sheet.

Roast the vegetables

Place the sheets into the oven and bake for 20 minutes (do not stir!). Remove the pans from the oven, rotate them, and roast another 10 minutes (for 30 minutes total) until tender and lightly browned on one side. Cut the lime into wedges and spritz the veggies with fresh lime juice to taste (2 wedges per sheet).
