Kitchen Tools

Preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the diced sweet potato on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender.

In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and diced onion, cooking until softened. Add the black beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper.

Warm the corn tortillas on a separate skillet until slightly browned and pliable. Assemble the tacos by spooning the sweet potato and black bean mixture onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200 grams, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 200 grams. The estimated calorie count per serving is 300 calories.

Tips

For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top of your tacos before serving. This will enhance the smokiness and creaminess of the dish.
