Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos/Burritos
Ingredients:
4 large sweet potatoes (one per person)
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil (or avocado oil)
Corn or flour tortillas
1 red pepper, finely diced
1 avocado, cubed
Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, cheese (feta or Mexican blend), sour cream, Greek yogurt, salsa
Instructions:
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil and add the taco seasoning, paprika, nutritional yeast, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven until they are soft and slightly crispy on the outside, about 20-30 minutes.
Prepare the Black Beans:
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, rinse and drain the black beans.
Season the black beans with 1 teaspoon of chili powder and set aside.
Assemble the Dish:
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and add the seasoned black beans to the baking sheet.
Mix the black beans with the sweet potatoes, and return to the oven for about 5 minutes, just to heat the beans through.
Warm the tortillas in the oven or on a skillet until soft and pliable.
Prepare the Toppings:
Finely dice the red pepper.
Slice the avocado into cubes.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
Assemble the Tacos/Burritos:
Place a mixture of roasted sweet potatoes and black beans onto each tortilla.
Top with diced red pepper, avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Optional: Add shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, or Greek yogurt for extra flavor and texture.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the tacos or burritos warm. Enjoy them with the air-fried sweet potato peel "chips" on the side for a crunchy snack!
This recipe is versatile and can be adjusted to your taste by adding or swapping out ingredients. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
