Sweet Potato & Black Bean Tacos
Ingredients
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾ inch cubes
1 tsp smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves, minced
¼ tsp salt
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
½ cup finely chopped red onion
1 can reduced sodium black beans, rinsed
1 medium avocado, thinly sliced
½ cup water
1 lime, squeezed for juice
8 tortillas, warmed
⅓ cup low fat Mexican shredded cheese blend
Salsa, for serving
Cilantro, for serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine sweet potatoes, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; toss to coat. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until tender and browned, about 25 minutes, flipping and tossing halfway through.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beans; cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer 1/3 cup of the bean mixture to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes; toss to combine.
Add 1/2 cup water to the remaining bean mixture in the skillet over medium-high heat; stir and mash the bean mixture with the back of a fork or a potato masher until it is almost smooth, but some bean chunks remain. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice.
To serve, spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mashed bean mixture onto each tortilla and spoon 2 tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture over the bean mixture. Top evenly with the shredded cheese and sliced avocado. Add salsa and/or cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
