Soft, roasted sweet potatoes cooked with smoky spices served in a taco with black beans, avocado and topped with Salsa Verde.
Ingredients
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 2 jalapenos, seeded and sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • Salsa Verde
  • 6 corn tortillas
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place the sweet potatoes and jalapenos on the baking sheet.
  2. Pour the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and nutmeg over the sweet potatoes and jalapenos and toss to coat.
  3. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, if the sweet potatoes aren't soft yet, place back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are starting to soften, remove the pan from the oven and add the black beans directly to the pan. Use tongs to toss all ingredients together then place back in the oven. Bake for another 5 minutes just to heat the beans. Remove and enjoy with Salsa Verde.
