Sweet Potato Taco Recipe
These sweet potato tacos use roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, cabbage, and a quick yogurt-based lime crema.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the taco assembly
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 avocado sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
For the Sauce
- ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice plus lime wedges for serving
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the diced sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and tender. Add the drained black beans to the sheet pan, toss with the sweet potatoes, and return to the oven for 10 more minutes to warm through.
- Stir together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
- Assemble the tacos by layering roasted sweet potatoes, shredded cabbage, black beans, and sliced avocado. Sprinkle with cilantro. Drizzle with the sauce and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- My Top Tip: Cut the sweet potatoes into even cubes. They'll cook more evenly this way and will be easier to eat in the tacos.
- Storage: Store leftover taco filling in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through. Serve with warmed corn tortillas. Freezing is not recommended.
