Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos
Sweet Potato Black Bean Tacos are full of different textures and flavored to perfection. They are fresh, full of flavor and super easy to make.
Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes:
- 4 medium/ large sweet potatoes
- 1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ Tablespoon cumin
Cilantro Dressing:
- ⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
Other:
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 1 can black beans
- 8 flour tortillas
Instructions
Sweet Potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400*F.
- Peel and chop sweet potatoes into ½" or slightly smaller chunks. Place in bowl and toss in olive oil, then toss in the salt and cumin. Bake at 400° F for 20- 25 minutes- You should be able to easily slide a fork into one when it's done. See photos above for a visual.
Cilantro Lime Dressing
- Throw yogurt, salt, cilantro and lime juice into a blender. Blend until well combined.
Assembly
- Wash and chop lettuce. Rinse and drain one can of black beans. Place lettuce, black beans and sweet potatoes onto a flour tortilla. Top with cilantro lime dressing and other toppings. Roll up into a taco.
Notes
These store great and make amazing leftovers! Store all ingredients separately in the refrigerator. Reheat the sweet potatoes and black beans and assemble the same as before. I also love to use the leftovers to make a salad!
For freezing: Assemble without the lettuce and sauce and freeze! Reheat in the oven or microwave then add the lettuce and sauce.
These are delicious with other taco toppings and more. We love to clean out our fridge and throw on cucumbers, bell peppers, cheese, tomatoes and more. Have fun with these and make them to your liking.
Our favorite tortillas for these tacos are raw ones that I then cook. You can absolutely make these with soft or hard corn tortillas or even make them into tostadas.
The sweet potatoes are done when a fork can be inserted easily into the potatoes, but be careful not to make them mushy!
