Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.

      Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, turning once halfway through.

        While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the black beans by warming them in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and any additional spices if desired. Stir until heated through.

          In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable.

            To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of roasted sweet potatoes on each tortilla, followed by a scoop of black beans.

              Top each taco with sliced avocado, a handful of shredded red cabbage, and fresh cilantro.

                Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
