INSTRUCTIONS


  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Add the sweet potatoes to the beans and stir.
  7. 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.
  8. Spray each taquito generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  9. Bake at 425 for about 15-17 minutes, or until they are brown and crispy.
  1. To make the sauce, add the avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt to a food processor or blender. Whir until combined.
