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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
