Sweet Potato Tacos – Sweet potatoes with avocado and salsa.
Sweet Potato Tacos are a healthy and vibrant vegetarian option that brings together the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the creamy richness of avocado and the fresh zestiness of salsa. The recipe involves roasting cubes of sweet potatoes until they are crisply tender. While the potatoes are roasting, a fresh salsa is prepared using tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and seasoning. Warm soft corn tortillas serve as the base for these tacos, which are then filled with the roasted sweet potatoes, topped with slices of avocado, and spoonfuls of the fresh salsa. This meal is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it both a satisfying and guilt-free choice. Description by ChatGPT.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: This recipe will make enough for about 4 servings, depending on the size of your sweet potatoes and how loaded you like your tacos.
Equipment:
- Skillet
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring spoons (optional)
Instructions:
1. Begin by prepping your sweet potatoes. Peel them, then chop them into small, even pieces, mimicking the texture of ground beef for even cooking and better integration into the tacos.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil or avocado oil to the skillet.
3. Add the finely chopped sweet potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning Blend to taste. If you don't have the seasoning blend, you can substitute with a mixture of chili powder and freshly squeezed lime juice.
4. Sauté the sweet potatoes until they are crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
5. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare your taco toppings. Chop fresh cilantro, slice avocados, and ensure your pico de gallo and salsa verde are ready to go.
6. Warm the corn tortillas on the stove or in the microwave until they are pliable and slightly toasted.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of the cooked sweet potatoes onto each tortilla. Top with cilantro, avocado slices, pico de gallo, and optional salsa verde.
8. Squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over each taco for a zesty finish.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy a lighter, more nutritious version of the classic taco with all the delightful flavors intact!
Cooking Tips:
- Dice the sweet potatoes as finely as possible to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
- Customize your tacos with additional toppings like shredded lettuce, cheese, or sour cream if desired.
