Scale
- 4 corn tortillas
- Canola oil
- 2 cups (473 ml) sweet potato, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 cups (118 ml) black beans
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cilantro, chopped
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
- In a mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil, chili powder, and cumin until coated. Spread onto an aluminum-lined baking sheet and cook on the bottom rack for 35 minutes, until tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the bell pepper and cook for 6-8 minutes, until softened.
- Add the black beans and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off heat, cover, and set aside.
- When the sweet potatoes have 12 minutes remaining, place tortillas on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
- Spread one side of each tortilla with canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Drape tortillas over two rows of the top oven rack, sprayed-side up, and bake for 8 minutes, until crispy.
- Remove sweet potatoes and shells from oven.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro.
- Divide sweet potatoes, black beans, and peppers evenly among the baked taco shells and top with the sour cream.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika with the chili powder and cumin.
- To make these vegetarian, substitute the sour cream with vegan sour cream or cashew cream.
- Store leftover sweet potato filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
