Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

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

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt & pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded red cabbage

1 avocado, diced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Optional: Salsa or hot sauce (for extra flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated.

      Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

        Heat Black Beans: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.

          Warm Tortillas: In a small skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.

            Assemble Tacos: Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, take a tortilla and spoon in some black beans followed by roasted sweet potatoes. Top with shredded red cabbage, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

              Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges and optional salsa or hot sauce on the side for an extra kick.
