Instructions

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare sweet potatoes

Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Pro tip: Ensure sweet potatoes are evenly coated for uniform roasting.

Roast sweet potatoes

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through cooking.

Pro tip: Check for doneness by piercing with a fork.

Mix black beans

In a large bowl, mix roasted sweet potatoes with black beans. Set aside.

Pro tip: Warm the beans slightly if they are cold from rinsing.

Prepare toppings

While sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the toppings. Halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the red onion and cilantro, and dice the avocado.

Pro tip: Keep the avocado covered to prevent browning.

Make the sauce

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, and hot sauce. Mix until smooth.

Pro tip: Adjust hot sauce quantity to suit your spice preference.

Warm tortillas

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side.

Pro tip: Keep tortillas warm in a clean towel.

Assemble tacos

Place a portion of the sweet potato and bean mixture onto each tortilla. Top with cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, avocado, and a drizzle of the sauce.

Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
