Instructions
Tacos:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the sweet potato, green bell pepper, garlic, and onion. Stir constantly for 6 to 8 minutes until the onions are translucent and the potatoes are tender.
- Add the black beans, chili powder, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. (If you’d like to add meat this is also where you’d add it.)
- Warm tortillas in a tortilla steamer or foil pouch in oven if desired and gather your toppings. Serve tacos hot with all the toppings you’d like!
Salsa: (*see note on prep)
- Mix all ingredients for salsa in a medium bowl until well combined.
Notes
*My favorite way to make salsa fast and easy is to literally skip all the dicing of the veggies and throw all the ingredients for the salsa into my food processor or blender and pulse until everything is diced and mixed. Start by adding just the garlic, cilantro, onion, and lime juice and pulsing a few times, then add the rest and pulse a few times more. Done!
