Delicious Sweet Potato Tacos Recipe for a Mexican Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 4 small corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled, optional)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt.

    Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet for even roasting.
  2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes

    Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.

    Stir halfway through cooking for even browning.
  3. Heat the Black Beans and Corn

    In a small saucepan, combine the black beans and corn. Heat over medium until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

    Add a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
  4. Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and corn mixture.

    Don't overload the tortillas to prevent cracking.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Top with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and crumbled feta cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.

    Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
