Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

½ cup feta cheese or crumbled cotija (optional)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the sweet potatoes.

    Season the sweet potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.

      Roast the sweet potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes. Stir the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly and become tender with a hint of caramelization.

        Heat the black beans: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, place the rinsed black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat. Warm the beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

          Warm the tortillas: In a skillet set over medium heat, warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make them soft and pliable, perfect for holding all the delicious fillings.

            Assemble the tacos: Take each warmed tortilla and layer it with a generous portion of the roasted sweet potatoes followed by a scoop of the seasoned black beans. Top this with fresh avocado slices and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro to add brightness and flavor.

              Garnish and serve: If you like, finish off each taco with crumbled feta or cotija cheese for an extra layer of richness. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing, and provide hot sauce for those who enjoy some heat!
