INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Chop the sweet potato into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add chili powder, salt, and onion powder.
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread the potatoes in one layer. Bake for 17-20 minute or until fork-tender. Remove and increase oven temperature to 425.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. When it is hot, add the minced garlic and saute for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the can of black beans with liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Add cumin, salt, and oregano, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes to the beans and stir.
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling down the center of a tortilla. Roll up tightly and place on a large greased baking sheet (I used the same one I baked the sweet potatoes on). Continue with the rest of the tortillas.
- Spray each taquito generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake at 425 for about 15-17 minutes, or until they are brown and crispy.
- To make the sauce, add the avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt to a food processor or blender. Whir until combined.
