Takes 3, serves 10.
Instructions
- Coat the sweet potato chunks with 2 Tbsp oil, and ½ tsp of salt, then spread them out on a Large Sheet Pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 425ºF for about 30-35 minutes, mixing them about half way through.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic and taco seasonings and cook, stirring often, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Mix in the black beans, cayenne pepper, and water. Then bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium, and cook covered for 10 minutes.
- Remove cover, mash half of the beans with a potato masher, stir and cook an additional 3 minutes to dry out some of the moisture.
- Mix in the lime juice and salt and pepper, remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
- To build tacos: On a warmed corn tortilla, layer about 2 tablespoons of black beans, about 1/4 cup of sweet potato chunks, and toppings of your choice.
