Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Avocado

  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Pinch of salt

Tortillas

  • 6 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Warm Tortillas: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, warm the tortillas by placing them on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
  3. Prepare Avocado: In a small bowl, gently mash the avocado slices with lime juice and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Once sweet potatoes are done roasting, divide them evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each with the mashed avocado mixture. Optionally, squeeze extra lime juice over the top before serving for added zest.

Notes

  • You can add toppings like chopped cilantro, diced red onions, or crumbled cheese to personalize the tacos.
  • For a spicier version, sprinkle roasted sweet potatoes with chili powder or smoked paprika before roasting.
  • To make this recipe vegan, simply avoid adding cheese or sour cream toppings.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary preferences.
  • Leftover roasted sweet potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
