Sweet Potato Tacos with Avocado & Black Beans

Sweet Potato Tacos with Avocado & Black Beans

Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and diced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • 1 small tin of black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 ripe avocado (sliced)
  • 4 small corn tortillas
  • ½ lime (cut into wedges)
  • Fresh coriander or parsley (to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking tray with baking paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Oven (preheated to 200°C / 390°F)
  • Dry frying pan or grill pan (for warming tortillas)

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. In a bowl, toss the sweet potato with olive oil, paprika, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the cubes out on a baking tray and roast for 20–25 minutes, until golden and soft inside.
  4. While that’s roasting, warm your tortillas in a dry pan so they’re soft and flexible.
  5. Assemble your tacos: start with black beans, then pile on the roasted sweet potato and avocado slices.
  6. Finish with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Serve straight away.

Serving Tip

Goes brilliantly with a dollop of Greek yoghurt or a spoonful of spicy salsa if you fancy it.
