Ingredients

  • 1 lb sweet potato (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 cup black beans (cooked (if from a can, rinse and drain), divided)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 6 corn tortillas

  • 1/2 cup diced red or white onion
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil

Instructions

  • Add cubed sweet potato to a medium pot and cover with water. Bring pot to a boil over medium high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until sweet potatoes are soft. Drain pot of water. Let cool for 5-10 minutes..
  • In a food processor, combine warm sweet potato, 1/2 cup of the black beans, chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon and process until combined. Transfer to a bowl until ready to use.
