How to make Black Bean Sweet Potato Tacos:
- Roast the sweet potatoes by preheating the oven to 425 degrees.
- Toss the prepared sweet potatoes with olive oil, cayenne pepper and salt. Arrange in a single layer and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway.
- Prepare the black beans by warming the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the cumin and chili powder and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring.
- Pour in the beans and 1/3 cup water. Stir, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and use the back of a fork or potato masher to mash up at least half of the beans. Remove from heat, stir in salt and pepper, and cover until you’re ready to serve.
- Assemble the tacos by spreading the black beans down the middle of the tortilla, top with sweet potatoes and guacamole. Garnish with cheese and cilantro.
