Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 medium peeled and diced sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp salt until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
  3. Step 3: While the sweet potatoes roast, warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds each side until pliable.
  4. Step 4: In a bowl, mix 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed black beans with 2 tbsp fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the tacos by layering roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, 1 cup shredded red cabbage, and slices from 1 avocado onto each tortilla.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with extra lime wedges if desired.
