Chef's Note

For extra flavor, try adding a diced avocado or a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco on top of your tacos. The sweet potatoes can be roasted ahead of time and reheated for an even quicker weeknight meal.

Ingredients
  • 1 medium sweet potato

  • 1 15-oz can black beans

  • 6 small corn tortillas

  • 1/3 cup sour cream

  • 1 whole lime

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1/2 medium red onion

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 cup cilantro

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • 2

    Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.

  • 3

    Place sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat.

  • 4

    Roast sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

  • 5

    While potatoes roast, peel and mince 2 garlic cloves.

  • 6

    Peel and finely dice 1/2 red onion.

  • 7

    Rinse and drain the black beans.

  • 8

    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

  • 9

    Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  • 10

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 11

    Add drained black beans, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

  • 12

    Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Use a wooden spoon to slightly mash some of the beans.

  • 13

    Zest the lime and set zest aside. Cut the lime in half and squeeze juice from one half into a small bowl.

  • 14

    In the small bowl, combine 1/3 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon lime zest. Stir well to create the lime crema.

  • 15

    Wash and chop cilantro.

  • 16

    Warm the corn tortillas by placing them directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds per side, or heat in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.

  • 17

    Assemble tacos: place warmed tortillas on plates, top each with black bean mixture, roasted sweet potatoes, a drizzle of lime crema, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  • 18

    Serve with remaining lime cut into wedges for squeezing over tacos.
