Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 6 small tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Step 2: While the sweet potatoes roast, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.
- Step 3: Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of roasted sweet potatoes on each tortilla. Top with slices of avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Add more salt if desired, then serve immediately.

Storage
Store any leftover roasted sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to assemble the tacos fresh, but you can keep tortilla and avocado slices separate and freshen them up before serving. Reheat sweet potatoes in the oven or microwave until warm.
