Ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- Toppings: avocado slices, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, red onion, salsa, or vegan sour cream
Instructions:
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized. - Warm the Black Beans:
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Season lightly with salt and pepper. - Assemble the Tacos:
Warm the tortillas on a skillet or directly over a gas flame for a little char. Fill each tortilla with a generous spoonful of roasted sweet potatoes and black beans. - Top It Off:
Add your favorite toppings like creamy avocado, chopped cilantro, zesty lime juice, and crunchy red onion. For extra flavor, drizzle with salsa or vegan sour cream.
