I'm always on pinterest looking for inspiration for my life and for food! I found this recipe a few weeks ago but i'm not quite good at following instructions so I took out and replaced some ingredients and added an extra step thats kinda "extra" but makes such a big difference. If you're looking for something healthy and quick that reheats well, try this out!


Ingredients


+ 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

+ 3 tbsp avocado oil, divided

+ 1 (15 oz) can Bush’s Beans Organic Black Beans, drained and rinsed

+ 1 tsp chili powder

+ 1⁄2 tsp cumin

+ 1⁄2 tsp garlic powder

+ 1⁄2 tsp dried oregano

+ Salt + pepper, to taste

+ flour tortillas

+ Shredded Mexican blend cheese

+ 2 large handful of baby spinach (optional)

+ 1⁄2 of a white or yellow onion, finely diced (optional)

+ Dash of Cayenne (optional)


Instructions


+ Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the sweet potato cubes with 2 tbsp of olive oil and salt and pepper; lay out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until soft.

+ (optional) When sweet potatoes have cooled down, puree them in a food processor till smooth.

+ Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Sauté diced onion for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the black beans, all of the spices plus salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for 4-5 minutes.

+ Remove from heat and stir in the baby spinach. Mix black bean mixture with the pureed sweet potatoes.

+ Add tortillas to a parchment-lined baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 2 minutes. *Note, you can make as many tacos as you’d like, and save any leftover filling for another meal.

+ Sprinkle half of each tortilla with cheese (as much or as little as you’d like), and scoop out some of the taco filling on top of the cheese. Fold each tortilla over the filling. Bake for 10-15 minutes and serve with desired toppings.
