Prep Time: 20 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Yield: 8

Category: Dinner, Gluten Free, Vegetarian

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup refried black beans
• 1 cup sweet potato puree, homemade or canned*
• 1 cup grated cheese
• 8 corn tortillas
• Olive oil

AVOCADO SALSA: (OPTIONAL)

• 1 large avocado, diced
• 1 tomato, small diced
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 450 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with a small amount of olive oil. If corn tortillas aren’t very pliable you may need to warm on the stove or microwave for about 5 seconds each before assembling tacos.
2. Spread about 1 tablespoon of refried beans on half of the tortilla and top with 1 tablespoon sweet potato and a sprinkling of cheese. Fold tortilla over and repeat with remaining ingredients. Brush the top of each taco with a small amount of olive oil and bake for about 10 minutes, flipping once.
3. Make the avocado salsa while tacos are baking. Add all ingredients to a medium sized bowl and mix until combined.
4. Let tacos cool for a few minutes before eating and top with avocado salsa, if desired. Recipe serves 2-3 people but can easily be adapted to make more.

NOTES

*I make my sweet potato puree by peeling and dicing a medium sized sweet potato and steaming until fork tender, 15-20 mins. I tend mash the cooked sweet potato with a fork.

*If you want to freeze these, freeze separately on a cookie sheet before baking and then combine into a freezer friendly container. Or, wrap each in plastic wrap and store in a freezer friendly container. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen: heat oven to 400 degrees F and bake 15-20 minutes, flipping once.
