Ingredients

For the tacos

  • 1 medium sweet potato - diced into ½-1 inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Refried beans - homemade or store-bought
  • ¾ cup sliced purple cabbage
  • 1 avocado - peeled seed removed and slices or diced
  • 3-4 soft corn tortillas

For the green sauce

  • ½ ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ⅔ cup packed fresh cilantro
  • 1 clove of garlic - peeled and minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch of pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the diced sweet potatoes to a medium size mixing bowl and drizzle them with the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Then toss to coat them. Spread the sweet potatoes onto the lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they are golden and tender.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are cooking you can mix up the green sauce. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until fully combined. Set aside.
  4. To build the tacos, char the tortillas over an open flame on the stove or in a pan over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side.
  5. Place the tortillas onto a plate, top each on with some of the refried beans, some roasted sweet potato, sliced purple cabbage, sliced avocado and a drizzle of the green sauce.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
