Black Bean Sweet Potato Tacos
Jump to Recipe
These Roasted Sweet Potato and black bean tacos are super easy to make, satisfying, and healthy! Top with homemade avocado crema for extra flavor!
We make tacos when we have friends or family over at our house. Plus, it’s super easy to satisfy everyone with a flavorful taco like this one here! These roasted sweet potato and black bean tacos are also easy to make and healthy! This recipe is also one of my go-to recipes for a quick weeknight meal!
To limit the number of items stuffed in the tortillas, I blended cilantro with avocado and seasoned it with lime juice, salt, and pepper to create a crema! It’s completely optional, but I highly recommend it! The crema could even be served as a dip with chips for an appetizer!
I started growing sprouts since the ones from the grocery store can be costly and don’t last long. I found HAMAMA online and decided to give them a try. I’ve been using their system for about a year, and it’s super easy to grow their sprouts! It takes about 7-12 days to harvest the seeds, and the sprouts are tasty! Recently, I grew their salad mix and added the sprouts to these tacos. It gave a nice peppery bite, which complimented the savory and spicy sweet potatoes! I hope you all love these tacos!
