Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Other Ingredients
- 4 small tortillas (corn or flour)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Warm the tortillas: While the sweet potatoes roast, warm the tortillas by heating each one in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the tacos: Lay the warmed tortillas flat and evenly distribute the roasted sweet potatoes among them. Top each with slices of avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added brightness. Season with extra salt if desired.
Notes
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Add chopped fresh cilantro or a dash of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- These tacos are best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm sweet potatoes and creamy avocado.
- Leftover roasted sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
