Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
- 8 corn tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dice sweet potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Ensure pieces are similar in size for even roasting.

- Roast sweet potatoes in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until edges are crispy and centers are tender.
- While sweet potatoes roast, drain and rinse black beans. In a small saucepan, warm beans over medium heat with remaining chipotle sauce.
- Prepare guacamole by mashing ripe avocado in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and optional diced cilantro if desired.
- Warm corn tortillas in a skillet or directly over gas flame for 30 seconds per side until slightly charred.
- Assemble tacos by layering roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and topping with fresh guacamole.
- Serve immediately and garnish with optional fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or additional chipotle sauce.
Tips
- Uniform Dicing: When cutting your sweet potatoes, aim for uniform 1/2-inch cubes. This ensures they roast evenly, giving you that perfect crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Roasting Perfection: Don’t skip the stirring halfway through roasting! This helps achieve that delightful caramelization on all sides of the sweet potatoes.
- Customize Your Heat: Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce to suit your spice preference. For a milder flavor, reduce the sauce, or for a kick, add more!
- Guacamole Magic: For an extra layer of flavor in your guacamole, consider adding diced tomatoes or a squeeze of lime juice. Fresh cilantro also adds a refreshing touch!
- Tortilla Tips: Warm your corn tortillas in a skillet or over a gas flame to enhance their flavor and texture. A little char adds depth to your tacos!
- Serving Suggestions: Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or extra chipotle sauce for an extra burst of flavor. These toppings can elevate your taco experience!
