Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese, diced red onion, salsa

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes: On a large baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

      Heat the Black Beans: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the rinsed black beans. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for seasoning. Stir occasionally until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the beans are warming, you can heat the tortillas. You can either wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes or place them one by one on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

          Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla and layer it with a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes and warmed black beans. Top with avocado slices, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and any other desired toppings such as feta cheese, diced onion, or salsa.

            Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco just before serving for a zesty touch. Enjoy immediately!
