Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the blackberry syrup. In a small saucepan, gently heat the blackberry syrup over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and place them in the oven for a few minutes.
- To assemble the tacos, take a warm tortilla and spread a spoonful of black beans on top. Add a generous amount of roasted sweet potatoes, a few slices of avocado, and drizzle with the warm blackberry syrup.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious Blackberry Syrup Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos!
